OPI You Only Live Twice



OPI is one of my favorite nail polish brands (after Essie, of course) because they offer such a wide selection of colors and finishes and the names are so darn adorable. This one is OPI You Only Live Twice from the Skyfall/James Bond Winter 2012 Collection, and as you can see it's a bright raspberry magenta with gold reflect. I don't usually wear much shimmer or glitter nail polish because I tend to prefer solid cremes, but this one is just so gorgeous I wear it all year round. The formulation is alright, a little on the thinner side and sheer with the first wash of color but easy to work with and two coats will get you full opacity. It's also not the shiniest of formulas but ends up with a little foil-like effect. I think a little Seche Vite goes a long way in doing it some good because this looks so gorgeous with a jelly-like finish. I wish more of the golden glassfleck would show up on the nail because it looks amazing in the bottle but dulls out a bit on the nail...  the color is so pretty as it is, though, so I'm not going to complain! Wearing this polish won't turn me into a Bond girl overnight, but it sure makes me feel as fab as one and my nails looking fiii-ine.
