So, last week when I posted my weekend mani, here, you would be forgiven for thinking that I had pretty much declared my undying love for 'My Current Crush'. Being somewhat a polish harlot, I have a new love this week and it has left me wanting more!
Meet 'Here Today...Aragon Tomorrow' an O.P.I Suede.
This is why I love O.P.I. This is essentially like a matte polish and was released maybe three years ago now, way before most other brands jumped on the textured bandwagon.
One coat in and things are looking a fair bit patchy but the essence of the colour was definitely there, a nice emerald green. The shimmer appears very fine and not in a metallic or frosty kinda way.
With a second coat, it begins to take on a whole new meaning! When first applied you can see glimmery, shimmery things starting to happen and then when it dries it has a gorgeous matte but better finish.
This is two coats and the colour is a lovely, deep emerald green. The texture feels quite nice too, there is no roughness to it. As it is supposed to be a suede finish, topcoat is not recommended so that does narrow down wear time, I had a decent amount of tipwear 36 hours later but it was still presentable. On the plus side, it dries pretty quick so you can do your two coats in less than 10 minutes. I have some pictures of this with various glitters etc which I might do as a wee collage, I just couldn't resist!
Aaah, it's like someone took the evil dark fairy 'Maleficent' from Disney's Sleeping Beauty and bottled her! I love the almost villainous glow that the shimmer and finish to this polish evokes and it has definitely left me wanting to try more of the suedes.
Interestingly, the suedes are not really that similar to their namesakes which is a little bit bizarre, see what I mean here and here!
Hope you had a lovely weekend!
Hugs,
Jodi
