Summer is finally here (though it seems to have turned cold and miserable again :( )! Unfortunate for me I don't own any real summery nail polish - being pale with a warm undertone means that any light or bright shades will make me look jaundiced.
Now this is probably the closest my nails will change season (that is before I go on another ill-advised shopping spree). Admittedly it's from the Hong Kong collection last spring, but I haven't found a better green than this: just green - not lime, bluish, vampy, shimmery, whatever - just plain old green. It's magical: bright but still cool enough for my skin tone, and I imagine should flatter most complexions from mine to anything darker. The finish is high gloss and it comes with the usual OPI chip-resistance. I have had it on for just under a week and it's still there looking pretty. My only complaint is that it's quite thick and doesn't sit very well on my base coat. It went on better without but I wouldn't risk the staining.
According to the OPI website, all OPI nail lacquers are DBP, Toluene and Formaldehyde-free. Now I'm lusting over a matte medium rosy pink but haven't been able to lay my hands on one yet :(
