OPI, my first polish love. You began my polish habit as a young muggle with a dark vamp (have no idea which one) and have seen me through many years of polish purchases and collections. I still think that many of the names are stupid but that is a minor detail.
And that's my ode to OPI. Here are some random OPI polishes to for your Wednesday viewing pleasure.
OPI Diva of Geneva
Classic OPI color and was a perfect base for a color shifting topcoat.
OPI Every Month Is Oktoberfest
Full disclosure, I think I hate this photo, the lighting that day was NOT working out for me and the very cool shimmer fell flat in the sunlight.
OPI German-icure by OPI
What I consider the sister polish to Oktoberfest above. The are both vampy shimmers but completely different in tone. Oktoberfest is purple and German-icure has the rusty red color I love.
OPI Glacier Bay Blues
A bit of a disappointment in all honesty. I should have followed suggestions to layer it over black but I wanted to see how it would look solo.
OPI Grape Set Match
Super pretty glass fleck polish. The blue flash gives it a twist to differentiate from all the others.
OPI Love is a Racket
A hot hot HOT red! Perfect pedi color.
OPI Oy-Another Polish Joke
I was afraid that this would look to brassy but it's just pale enough of a gold to avoid that. I have seen pics of this layered over another color (like here, here and here) and I will have to pull this out again to try that.
OPI You’re Such a BudaPest
Lovely periwinkle purple, one of my favorite colors from the Euro Centrale collection.
Really pretty colors!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteLovely swatches!
ReplyDeleteI like Glacier Bay Blues over navy; I think the only time I wore it on it's own I ended up doing about five coats, and I still didn't like it!
Thanks! Sadly, I purged it, but I have no regret!
DeleteDiva of Geneva was an untried for me until your gorgeous mani prompted me to reach for it. Thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! And YAY for wearing untrieds!
