OPI You're Such A Budapest Nail Polish Review

 I've been meaning to do this post for a while now- but I took a long break from painting my nails. My actual nails were also doing so well- looking healthy and getting longer- which made me even more hesitant to paint them. But since I wanted to review this color- here we are. 

OPI claims:

If I let you borrow this periwinkle-purple, will you go away?

Catch compliments like they're going out of style. Beautiful blend of periwinkle and lavender. Nail Lacquer is OPI's original nail polish formula. Use your nail polish shade with OPI Natural Base Coat and OPI Top Coat for extended wear. Made in the USA.

I love a pastel nail polish- which is why I bought this. They describe it perfectly- a periwinkle purple. Or lavender. Sometimes I feel it's more purple- other times I feel like it's more periwinkle. I'm sure it's one of those colors where people see it differently. It really didn't photograph true to life though...

Pastel shades can be difficult. I would say this polish lives up to the OPI name though. It's a two coater- can do three if you want it completely opaque but two is enough. It goes on smoothly. It's not really streaky. And it wears long with a base coat/top coat. I'm very happy wit the quality.

As always I also really like the OPI wide brush. Although I could have done better job of applying it though. 

I finally tried it as a pedicure color for my last vacation- love it that way! I'm still wearing it and no chips- the only wear is the grow out. It's even still shiny after weeks and weeks of wear. It's really time to take it off...

I love this shade. I especially appreciate that often times these type of shades aren't very flattering on my skin tone but this one works for some reason...
