No Lack Of Lacquer

OPI Dutch ‘Ya Just Love OPI?
7/03/12

I do just love OPI, and especially this colour. It’s a rich reddish purple - plum, really - with tons of pigment and good scattering of gold shimmer that shows through well. It adds a wonderful new dimension to what would otherwise be a fairly standard purple. Without it, I’m sure I can dupe this purple and probably wouldn’t have bothered getting my hands on a bottle. But with it, it’s unmissable. This is the kind of colour that would look amazing on any skin tone, I think.

I was expecting to need three coats after my experience with Herring Problem but the formula wasn’t quite as thin, and while this did mean that the shimmer doesn’t stand out quite as much, I only needed two coats to get great opacity. If you wanted more shimmer, a layer of Essie’s As Gold As It Gets over the top would probably work wonders.
