OPI Disney’s Oz The Great and Powerful is this years SoftShades Collection. It combines delicate shades with whimsical ones, making the collection undeniably epic.
Don’t Burst My Bubble
Don’t Burst My Bubble is a very sheer and milky pale pink. With shades such as this I love to just use one coat to leave the nails looking elegant. It also is a great shade to change up a french mani or use as a base for a glitter ombre. Shown above I swatched with three coats to give off the color.
Which is Witch?
Which is Witch? is a drool-worthy holo-glitter with random small glitters, hex glitters and bar glitters. The glitters were easy to grab with the brush and transfer to the nail. One coat is shown over Don’t Burst My Bubble.
I Theodora You
I Theodora You is a sheer pinked nude. Very girlie. Not at all evil! Three coats are shown above.
Lights of Emerald City
Lights of Emerald City has a clear base with large white square glitter and smaller square iridescent glitter. The white square glitter took a bit of maneuvering, but the end effect is unique! One coat is shown over I Theodora You.
Glints of Glinda
Glints of Glinda is a very sheer peachy nude. Just the right polish to make your nails look refined. Three coats were used above to show the color, but with shades such as this I prefer one or two.
When Monkeys Fly!
When Monkeys Fly! has a sheer base loaded with large & crumpled gold hex glitter and smaller holo glitter. Clearly, not hard to get those big gold hex pieces, but they want to group, so you’ll need to do a bit of maneuvering, and those dark monkeys don’t make it easy! But, they sure are pretty. One coat is shown over Glints of Glinda.
What Wizardry is This?
What Wizardry is This? is a Liquid Sand polish and is a gorgeous shade of deep golden ore. Three coats were used above, with a clear top coat on the middle nail.
(L-R: Lights of Emerald City, Which is Witch?, When Monkeys Fly! over top of What Wizardry is This?)
Clearly, these are ALL MUST HAVES for me because I’m obsessed with OZ and lately anything about this movie, even James Franco!

Really light, sheer, subtle polishes are usually not really my thing (I love color–lots and lots of COLOR!! :P), but for some reason these polishes–especially I Theodora You and Glints of Glinda–are really calling to me!! They’re so pretty and seem to apply beautifully–no streaking or pooling at all! Even the really milky shade! And that When Monkeys Fly! glitter is really fun. Can’t wait til they’re available!!

The only shade that interests me in the collection is What Wizardry is This? I still don’t know how I’ll cope with the texture, but that color is calling my name pretty loudly!

You can always pop a top coat on it 😉
I love your layering choices! SO pretty.

thank you!!
Fun! I do wish they did some sort of green shade, but maybe they thought it was cliche.

I think if it wasn’t the SoftShades Collection we definitely would have seen an Emerald. An emerald holo would have been amazing!
I feel like this collection should of had way more color, especially jewel tones.

It definitely could have gone really wild! I like that they did something a little different to make the SoftShades collection more appealing to everyone.
