notd: opi did you 'ear about van gough





I bought this polish a while ago and have only just got round to wearing it. It's from the OPI Dutch Treats collection that I swatched some of here I bought it because although I can't get enough nudish cremes, I don't have anything much like this.
First picture is without flash, second with.
It's a putty grey nude, definitely too cool to be a true nude, but rather unique and I really like it. The picture without flash is closest to what it actually looks like but still not entirely accurate, it's a little bit bluer than that. And it's nothing like the flash picture, which looks quite similar to Stranger Tides from the Pirates of the Carribean collection, which is probably actually a mixture between those two above pictures. Confusing.
Anyway, this was three coats, but I'm pretty sure that was because my first coat was waaaayyyy too thin.

In other news, it's payday tomorrow FINALLY. I'm going shopping so there should be lots of fun stuff to post about! I'm definitely getting St Tropez Dark so I'll be posting a comparison between the original in the next few days, and I'm seriously considering buying LiLash... Seen it on amazon for a bargainlicious £52 and I've wanted to try it for years. Watch this space!

      Haha they're both the same colour! It just goes to show what a difference lighting makes! Xx

    Wow that's so strange how different the flash made them look! They are both really nice colours though (even if the camera did make up the latter one haha)

    I hope you had a great day shopping and didn't break the bank too much!
    Thanks for the comment on my blog, definitely followed you, such a lovely blog!

      I know, it's weird isn't it! I think it's because it's a bit of a neither here nor there colour anyway

      Thanks hun xx

    This is on my wishlist, wonderful colour! Was a bit :S about the second picture though, it makes it look so chilly and cold! As long as it's more like the top one in reality :) x

      It is lovely, really! I think that happened because it's ever so slightly more green than the first picture; it's somewhere between a pale green, a nude and a grey! x

    This is a really nice shade. Looks completely different in the light! I have opi steady as she rose and that looks completely different with lighting too x
