I would have a very hard time picking a definitive favorite brand, especially when it comes to choosing between indie and mainstream brands. But that being said, my go-to answer is almost always OPI. They were my first love and I still get a special sense of excitement about new OPI colors. I've got probably around 150 of the little buggers so there were plenty to choose from for this post!
Ultimately, I was in a pink sort of mood so I chose Come To Poppy, a vibrant coral with a pearlized finish. OPI doesn't do this type of finish very often but I really wish they would! The color is so stinkin' cute and the pearly shimmer doesn't look the least bit frosty.
I expected this to be a little brushstroke-y but it actually was a breeze to apply! I used three coats here.
What's YOUR favorite brand? Is there a particular "gateway"polish from the line that made you fall in love with it? I think the polish that really kicked off my love affair with OPI was Jade Is The New Black!

Lovely colour, I don't think I've heard of this polish before! Damn you have a load of OPI polishes :P
ReplyDeleteThanks! It came out with the Nice Stems Collection which was like...four years ago or so, I think? And yes, I have something of an OPI obsession haha.
DeleteThis is a super gorgeous pink, oh my!
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather!
DeleteI love this color! It is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amber!
DeleteYou have a huge OPI collection! That's awesome. I don't have nearly as many as you do.
ReplyDeleteYeah my OPI collection is out of control! I have more OPI than any other brand, by far.
DeleteAnother OPI lover! This is really pretty on you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lakeisha! And yes, all kinds of OPI love this week! :)
DeleteWhat a great color; I don't have this but I need it! I picked OPI as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Stephanie! It really is an amazing pink! I think OPI will always be my favorite. They were the brand that really got me into polish so I'll never lose that special attachment I have with OPI.
DeleteThis color looks so good on you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marisa!
DeleteI would have expected some brushstrokes too, but it's all smooth and adorable! Once again, OPI's formula wins.
ReplyDeleteMy gateway was China Glaze For Audrey. I was already getting into polish but content to see what showed up at the drugstore until I saw For Audrey online and NEEDED to go out and find it. That was the first pebble to fall. Then, the avalanche. :o)
Absolutely, I love that it doesn't look frosty at all. Just a nice, pearly smooth sheen to it. Perfection!
DeleteFor Audrey was one of my first CG's. Such an amazing color! I can see why it started your addiction! ;)
Wow...so many OPIs!! This color looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tiffany! And yep, OPI is my weakness. ;)
DeleteAnother OPI lover, can't blame you there.
ReplyDeleteSeems like we have a ton of OPI love this week! There is just this special something about OPI that always makes me extra excited for their new collections. :)
Deletesuch a gorgeous color!
ReplyDeleteLove OPI! (Right after Essie hehe). This color is so gorgeous!!
