OPI - Pop Culture Collection (Partial)

Hi lovelies! Today I'm back with four of the six polishes from OPI's Pop Culture Collection. These were released back in 2018, but I managed to snag these four in the Nail Polish Direct Black Friday sale for less than £1 each! The Pop Culture polishes have a 'bubble-like' textured finish. I'm all about the textured polishes so I've always been intruiged about these. Read on for my full swatches and more info!

Before I get into the individual polishes, I'll quickly address the formula here. They all have a very similar formula that I found smooth and easy to apply regardless of the little textured 'bubbles'. I found that they dried down fairly quickly which I appreciated due to the fact topcoating would negate the texture. I used three coats for all four shades, just to be sure I had full coverage.

'Days of Pop' is a blue with a blue shimmer. Below is three coats without topcoat.

What do you think? I know this collection divided a lot of people, and a lot of people didn't like them as they look like bubbled polish that isn't applied properly. I personally think it's quite obviously an intended texture in person, and I really like it! I love a textured finish, and these are definitely unique - and fun!

The four-piece set I purchased is still available on Nail Polish Direct here, though it is back to the original price of £8.95. You can also buy all six colours for £19.95 here.
