NOTD – OPI – I’m Not Really A Waitress

Posted by Lipglossiping On May - 27 - 2009

The perfect wine red for cool toned gals like me. I always forget just how much I love this shade until I rediscover it in my little box of polishes.

A solid 2 coater, hardwearing and glossy with a lovely shimmer.

I have a slight problem with nail tip wear with this polish though, you might be able to make out on the tips of my ring and little finger in the above photo which was taken the morning after application. I’m guilty of not wrapping my polish over the tips of my nails though, it always feels like such a sloppy thing to do. Does it really aid longevity on the tips?

Anyone care to share their ‘classic’ faves?

NOTD – Primark Opia

Yes it’s ridiculously cheap, yes it’s a lovely colour for pale cool toned skin. No I won’t be applying it again unless I develop a masochistic streak. 5 coats…. 5 coats of colour (with another base coat inbetween), I kid you not and I can still see through my nail tip if I hold my hand to the light!

I have another Opia polish in Navy and that’s an absolute dream in terms of opacity (almost a perfectly smooth 1 coater)- so for a solitary £1 it’s always worth a punt if you see a colour you like. Unfortunately, I can’t find any reference to the name of the shade of this polish.

Application was really easy due to the consistency being so thin and transparent. If you like sheer polishes, I would totally recommend this. If you don’t, steer well clear of this shade.
