OPI Honey Ryder

I had come to regret missing out on OPI Honey Ryder from this summer's Bond Girls Collection, so when I happened across a lone bottle at the store this past weekend, I snatched it up! Honey Ryder is named for the original Bond girl, portrayed by Ursula Andress in Dr. No. Due to her heavy accent, Andress' voice was actually dubbed over in the film. But she still managed to earn her place in cinematic history by making one hell of an entrance in the film. Get it, gurl.

With Honey embodying all things sun and sand, it makes perfect sense that the polish that bears her name is a gleaming shade of gold.





The formula here is outstanding; one of the nicest I've encountered in a textured polish, OPI or otherwise. It goes on flawlessly and is very nearly a one-coater, although I used two here. I'm pretty finicky about golds on me. I don't think they are the most flattering on my skin tone and I try to avoid any golds with too much yellow in them. But Honey Ryder is a perfect true gold and I absolutely love it! Not only does it make for a great summer shade, it also works well as a holiday metallic. I'm so glad I picked this one up!
