Currently Loving: OPI's Diva of Geneva

Yeah, I know, more nail polish.  I'll keep it short and sweet, I promise, it was just so pretty that I had to show y'all.  I hit up Ulta this weekend (more on that later), and made an immediate beeline for the OPI Swiss collection.  I went in really looking to get Glitzerland, a pretty antiqued/champagne gold, but in the store Diva of Geneva totally knocked my socks off.


Let me just start by saying that I'm really not a berry-toned person.  I don't own berry-toned anything.  But this polish...oof.  It's what I always wanted from vampy polishes, it's dark enough to make a statement, but it's still vibrant enough that you get a lovely flash of color.  It's a warm, purpley-berry with gold and fuchsia shimmer, and when I say shimmer, I mean SHIMMER.  This is one of those polishes that is as shimmery in the bottle as it is on your fingers.  When I sent my roommate a picture of the bottle, she told me not to spend all day staring at my sparkly nails.  And I spent all day staring at my sparkly nails.  I lost the sunlight to show all the shimmer-fire, so for better swatches click here.

Ignore the crappy manicure, it was done literally in the dark over a week old manicure of topcoat.  No joke.  This polish applies perfectly with two coats, no streaking or texture issues at all.  I think this would be equally gorgeous on fingers and toes.  I just really have nothing like it.  It's so sophisticated and chic, but at the same time it's really, really festive and fun.  I can see myself going through an entire bottle of this, and I've never done that with a polish before.  I highly recommend it.  To see the rest of the collection, check out these swatches.  I'm not a green/teal polish person, but I'm totally eying Cuckoo for this Color.
