Okay okay. I am really screwed. I should have known better than to buy my first bottle of OPI nail polish. Those things are freaking expensive but the quality, oh my god, THE SHEER GORGEOUSNESS of the effect it has on my nails. I applied them in a hurry but it still looked as though I've just gone for a manicure. It's little wonder why people pay 11 bucks and upwards for these little bottles of miracles. Which means I am probably bidding farewell to the 1.99 FaceShop nail polish. Which means I've found a new obsession besides clothes. Which means I'm probably going to end up buying 10 bottles of nail polish in various shades of reds. WHICH MEANS I AM SO FUCKING SCREWED.


Boredom and online shopping is a lethal cocktail. And I HAVE to be a brand slut to boot. Awesome.


Anyway this was the shade I bought:

I FREAKING LOVE IT. The colour's rich and yummy and it was thick enough to be completely opaque despite only applying two coats. I actually thought it was the shade of nail polish that I got for my manicure, but it wasn't. Well, close enough. And this just gives me and excuse to buy more. HAHA.


Oh check out this site if you're bored: Scrangie. she has the craziest collection of OPI nail polishes and she reviews almost all of them. I had an awesome time reading through the archives and nearly died looking at some of the pictures.

Jealous yet? Be right back, crying about my lack of money.


Some of the shades that had me swooning

The Reds

Shade: Berry Berry Broadway

Shade: We'll Always Have Paris

Shade: Yes I Can-Can

Shade: Eiffel For This Colour

and my personal favourite:


I have an explicable attraction towards dark, almost blood, red and vampy shades. Add in shimmers and I'm sold.

The Purples

Shade: Overexposed in South Beach

Shade: Paris Suede with gloss

Shade: Licoln Park Suede with gloss

Shade: Holiday Glow (omg i LOVE this.)

Shade: Give Me Moor (Shiny and dark. LOVE)

The Pinks (now i usually don't wear pale shades because it doesn't match my skintone at all but these shades are just sooooooooo pretty!)

Shade: Who Needs a Prince

Shade: Isn't it Romantic

The Mattes (really interesting looking nail polishes. I'd probably never try them but the blogger made them look so pretty!)

Shade: Gargantuan Matte

Shade: Lincoln Park Matte


Another thing about OPI nail polishes is that they have these adorable kitschy names. Yes I am a sucker for gimmicks like that. Probably also explains my love for Benefit and Stila.

And yes, the names of the shades are there so I will remember which shades I want to order. HAHA. Told you I'm screwed.
