As part of a collection that’s inspired by Mariah Carey, OPI has introduced a top coat that has gold and silver leaf in it. Completely subtle and yet still over the top, this top coat is so interesting.
I really love the packaging of this product. It’s definitely something special and totally giftable.
I wore it over my Dior Nuit 1947, which is a deep dark red polish. The top coat was perfect: it added some sparkle to the classic colour, but not too much. It wasn’t glitter (which I think can look a little boring now), but it was sparkle and that’s what I wanted.
Here’s the thing though: the top coat doesn’t look like anything special from afar. Actually because the gold is white gold and it’s so light reflective, the top coat actually looks like paint splatters. I got no compliments on my nails with this manicure, and that’s kind of a test for me as to whether something is worth the effort or not. That said, I’m still going to use it again and try it on top of other colours.
This is a limited edition product that is available at professional salons and spas for $37.50.
