I have developed such an unhealthy obsession for nail paints. Earlier on they were a mere adornment of sorts. Something to use so that your hands looked presentable and neat. But now...they are an indulgence and oh so satisfying. Forget the zillion and one colors that are available but the sheer amount of textures that you can play with! And lets not even get into the finishes. Chrome, magnetic, holo, leather, sand, glitter, mirror, etc etc. Ahhh its like discovering that 200+ colors box of crayons when you were little. Brings out the Rembrandt out of you...hmmm to be more precise the obsessive freak (I-want-more-nail-paints-now....even though I have more than I can coat my 10 pairs of hands with but what the heck....who is counting :D ). OPI sand nail polishes have been much talked about ever since their launch. Needless to say that I have be trying so bad to get my hands on them. But that dream trip to Sephora made this a possibility for me...finally! Let's break it down...
I so so so wanted to step foot into a Sephora! Even more so an international one! Just the thought of the amazing brands I could get my hands on there left me in a tizzy and for someone who has been sighing over some of the new launches and not been able to get her hands on coveted items the mere thought that I would finally get to experience Sephora left a twinkle in my eye and a spring in my step. The whole trip to Singapore was one major whirlwind from start to finish as it was a very last minute thing and we had very few days to prepare for it as well in the city itself.

Hello Diva's! I got this shade from O.P.I sometime back. I have been looking for it since awhile as I had heard that this is one of the iconic shades of the brand and was eager to try it out. Dell had partnered with O.P.I and had launched a removable laptop cover in this shade and it was so pretty. The name is so catchy. Since that time I have been looking forward to buy this.
I finally found it on one of the Indian shopping sites (don't remember which). I paid around Rs. 520/- for it. It is a slightly dark red shade with similar color shimmer in it. Personally I feel that it has a blue undertone. When applied it has a really nice sheen to it. I put it about 3 days ago and can see very slight fraying at the tips which is not very noticeable. Due to the pigmentation it has a tendency to stain the nails in reddish color when it is removed (this is an issue that I have noticed with a lot of red and dark shades). It is a pretty color but I personally feel that due to the blue undertone to it I don't really think that it suits my color tone. Reds generally help to impart a bright and fair look to the surrounding skin but I feel that this aspect is lacking in this shade.
Would you purchase it again? - The shade - probably not.
Would you recommend it to your friend? - Maybe. I'm on the fence regarding the shade.
