OPI — Cuckoo For This Color

in

I have a confession to make. I spent an inordinate amount of money on nail polish this weekend.  The worst part of it all?.....I went into the weekend with this nail polish splurge in mind!  I just couldn't help myself.  $50 and 7 bottles later, I think I actually did pretty good in my price per bottle ratio, but that is neither here nor there.  I am obsessed and it is out of control!

The good news is I got some beautiful new colors!  One of which I am currently wearing and loving!  It it OPI's Cuckoo For This Color:

Honestly, the name of this polish kind of annoys me, just because it is unnecessarily long and I really don't see the witty connection that OPI titles often have.  But yes, I would agree, this color is fabulous and I am crazy for it!

Actually, the color is a lot like Revlon's Matte Suede in Emerald City, which I posted a week back:

(Revlon's Matte Suede in Emerald City)

The only difference is Revlon's Matte Suede in Emerald City is, obviously, matte and has a slightly yellower tinge to it.  OPI's Cuckoo For This Color is glossy and has a slightly bluer tinge.  Both are equally fabulous!

XOXO, Varnish

Revlon — Matte Suede Emerald City

Revlon's Matte Suede in Emerald City speak to me in an number of ways.  First, I am from Seattle, so the Emerald City will always hold a special place in my heart.  Secondly, this nail polish is so pretty with it's deep shade of green and tiny flecks of lighter greens! Admittedly, it took me a very long time to get used to the idea of matte colors.  I mean, like many females, I tend to like things that are shiny and have sparkle.  However, matte is the newest fashion in nail colors and, with much hesitation and reservations about the absence of shine, I think I am starting to dig this trend!
