NOTD: Lucky Lucky Lavender

There's an ever-growing list of polishes I've been lemming that a recent windfall has allowed me to shorten. The latest addition to my stash of lovelies is OPI's Lucky Lucky Lavender, a real stunner from OPI's 2010 Hong Kong Collection.

I wasn't able to get a great picture of it under artificial light, but you can get a good idea of the color of the polish in any case--a lavender-tinged soft pink. It's a very flattering color, and I see it working well on a range of skin tones. If you're a bit tan the color pops even more, making it a great shade to sport for spring/summer.

The quality of the polish is excellent, as if we'd expect anything less from OPI. The formula applies smoothly and dries to an über-shiny finish, so shiny that I didn't use a top coat for this mani. It's lasted about 4 days on my nails so far with minimal wear, which is rather impressive for not using a top coat.

Here, I've photographed the polish under natural light. It gives a better idea of the tinge of purple apparent in the color and also showcases Lucky Lucky Lavender's subtle brightness.

A salon favorite, OPI has a wide range of colors to choose from and they regularly intrigue and impress me with their seasonal collections. The color selection is so varied, you could easily find a shade to match whatever color suits your mood, as I did with Lucky Lucky Lavender
--for instance, this shade perfectly matches my current pillowcase (random, I know).

Anywhoevers, I'm definitely looking forward to adding more OPIs to my collection soon cool
