I love St. Patrick's Day because it's an excuse for me to wear green, one of my favorite colors. Yes I know I can wear it any time of the year, but it's extra fun when the rest of the population partakes in the festivities. I love all shades of green: mint, forest, lime, olive, jade, teal, sea, etc. I bought the OPI Nail Lacquer: I'm sooo swamped! for today.
I'm sooo swamped! one of 12 shades in OPI's Spring/Summer 2016 New Orleans Collection ($10). This collection takes various shades and is inspired by the lively culture and spirit of New Orleans. It's funny because Cecilio and I were going to go there last December but it became too late for us as the tickets kept going up. With names like Spare Me a French Quarter?, Let Me Bayou a Drink, and Take a Right on Bourbon, New Orleans is truly one of a kind in the US. It marries The South and French culture.
I am impressed with how the color turned out exactly as it shows on the bottle. When I first brushed this upon my nail beds, it honestly reminded me of Kermit The Frog or Kerropi. So what will I describe it, frog green? haha. Okay, so it's more neon-ish. It is also bright enough to wear for summer.
I've never painted my own nails with an OPI bottle, but I usually go to the salon and pick one for the manicurists to paint it for me. I am SO glad that they have a wide, flat blush, which makes it insanely easy and smooth to apply. That is one of my frustrations with the Essie polishes.
I have to say that I am pretty impressed with this shade, some of the others in the New Orleans collection, and OPI polishes in general. I will be coming back for more.
Do you guys have this shade or any OPI polishes? And what are you doing for St. Patrick's Day? My mom's boyfriend is cooking up some corned beef and cabbage. I can't wait to try it! Although, I have to admit, I do looove the canned corned beef as well!
