You know the saying, ‘Don’t judge a book by it’s cover’? Well, totally not true for me. I love book covers. If I don’t like it, it’s highly likely I won’t even pick up the book to read the back. Just like how I love buying DVDs because of their covers. That’s one of the reasons I’m not a fan of buying ‘a-hem’ DVDs, their covers never look half as good as the original ones.

A few days ago, I was reading someone’s blog, and this person was talking about a new line of nail polish by OPI. I saw the pictures of the nail polish, and I wasn’t too impressed.

Kinda bling, right? The reds are so bright, and the shimmery ones are so…disco-ey. Maybe for a night out, but definitely not for everyday use. And then…I saw the packaging.

Ooohhh, so pretty! OPI has released this new selection in conjunction with the upcoming Alice in Wonderland movie, which is directed by Tim Burton and features Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter! I’m a huge fan of Johnny Depp, and what more when he’s put in a movie together with Tim Burton! So, it definitely made me look twice at OPI’s Alice In Wonderland range.

One thing I’ve discovered about OPI is that they have a real knack for naming their nail polishes. For this round, they are called Absolutely Alice, Mad as a Hatter, Thanks So Muchness! and Off with Her Red. Aren’t the names cute?

So, whilst packaging doesn’t totally influence me (I’m definitely not buying these nail polishes!), they do make people stop for a second…and maybe even third look.
