OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender

I've decided to take off Nubar Forest though I'm pretty sure it would last a couple more days without any very visible chipping. Time for some new fresh colors!

I wanted to show you a bare Mrs. O'Leary BBQ, but due to some bad experience with MOB, I've decided against it. I'm not sure it's MOB's fault or SV top coat's fault, or it's just that the two of them doesn't go together, but... I'd rather not risk it. To make the long story short, I had some weird matte tips when I used MOB with SV top coat. Isn't it weird? Like... it's all shiny but the tips is matte. Like flat matte. That's about a quarter of my nail length too. I'll show you next time, and if you girls have the same experience, do share. 

So I used OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender today.

Is it lavender? NOOO!

It's actually a dusty pink, it makes me feel like it has a drop of grey in that pink, and probably half a drop of purple.

Despite how red my fingers looked, the nail color is actually quite true to life. 

Application wise, sheer, needs at least two coats for opacity, three if you have some bald patches.

Formula is a little goopy but sheer, nothing I like.

But the color is very flattering on my skin, especially nice on fair skin. It's a feminine not in your face soft dusty pink.

And OPI's brush is always great. Very minimal cleanup needed, I was lazy so I didn't do any.

After the great encounter with In2It Jackpot, I was beginning to wonder what constitute a pricey polish? Is it the formula, or is it the creative color? What is it? Because I'm beginning to question whether it's necessary to spend half a fortune on some pricey branded OPI since I could get so much value for money with merely 10% of OPI's price for a cheap nail polish which is 5 times better than OPI. Sighh....
