REVIEW:
As great as OPI nail lacquer can be, the Fifty Shades collection are one of my favourite set! Loving 4 out of 6 colors, Romantically Involved and Shine for Me doesn't really work for me.
So here's the deal, overall they are great but could be more opaque! 
Especially Dark Side of the Mood, I was surprised to found out that I need to do 3 layers of it to achieve the actual color!
The rest of the collection only needs 2 layers and it will do the job quite nicely.
I love the finishing of My Silk Tie so much! And I love both Cement the Deal and Embrace the Grey, but somehow it's only a few darker shades of grey between those two.
For me, the Romantically Involved could have a darker shade of red to make it somehow more sexual(?) #justsayin ;) and I hate how it looks compared to my dark brown skin! But it somehow looks good on my mom. This totally have to do with skin color for sure!
And why don't I dig the Shine for Me? Glitter nail lacquers remind me of my childhood! Painting my nails with glittery toy nail polishes like a princess! HAHAHA
So I ended up purchasing 4 colors of the full sized bottles! YAAYY!
Note that it is RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE in Indonesia. The mini set is $50 and the full sized bottles are $20 each. 
Sephora Singapore sells the full sized bottles for SG$16 each.
In Australia, you can find it in David Jones! The mini set is AU$30 and full sized bottles are AU$20!
Hope this helps!
