O.P.I nail lacquer - Meet me on the starferry

So as you probably have guessed this post is about a nail polish that I bought recently, mostly I was intrigued by the cute little name and I think that it definately suits the colour. so I have already told you what I think about these polishes they do range in finishes like there are matte ones, satin ones and lustre ones etc.

so this colour is a very pretty dark taupe/ plum colour and when it hits the right light you can see hundreds of little gold sparkly bits in it. this is by the way out of the Hong Kong collection. the first coat that you put on does look very sheer but two coats just about do it. all in all a very pretty colour I think.

O.P.I nail lacquer - Lucky Lucky Lavender

Sorry I havn't posted for agessss but I've been on holiday and now have a few things to post for you guys.

so I have been searching forever to find O.P.I nail laquer since I first read about them on someones blog and wanted to try some out to see what it was like.

In the area where I live it's really hard to find any in shops but when I went on holiday I found they were for sale in the hotels spa shop so I went and bought two shades from the collection 'Hong Kong'.

This is 'Lucky Lucky Lavender'



its a very pretty pink/purple.
now I have found that these nail polishes are very I.Guess you would call it pigmented in colour and two coats is the maximum any nail would need. I decided I would put this colour on so I did my base coat, applied two coats of the colour.... but after the second coat of colour had dried I stared at my nails in wonder.... I didn't need to put on a top coat because the colour was soooo glossy and polished there really was no need.

so my top five bonuses about this product are:

- the range of colours available - if you go onto the O.P.I website you'll find out just how many there are.
- also the glossyness of the finish
- I am definately going to have to include the fact that the brush bristles are thick and smooth making the product super easy to apply
- the amount of product you get (15ml in one bottle)
- and last but not least how it takes so little time to dry.

yes I realise these polishes are expensive at £9.50 for one bottle but it's very good quality and well worth the money if you are a nail varnish junkie.

Will be starting my O.P.I collection very soon

Have a great week xxxx
