This week I've been sporting an old black label OPI on my nails. Jewel of India is from a collection called the Far East released way back in 2000. Now, I know I've had this one a while but I'm pretty sure I haven't owned it quite that long! I was looking for something in my polish stash along the line of plums and autumn berries to wear and this lovely satiny magenta-plum was it. The coverage was lovely and even in two coats and the colour just glows. This one's a classic glam shade - reference to jewels fits it beautifully. If I have to complain it's about my own shoddy application. I'm so used to the Pro-wide brush I have trouble controlling the old skinny brushes so there's bit of cuticle flooding here. Forgive me...

This finish does remind me of glowy satin fabric!
That's all for now.

Its very pretty.
ReplyDeletePretty and still grownup I think! Thanks xo
ReplyDeleteI've just discovered the world of nail and cosmetic blogs. I felt compelled to let you know that yours is my favourite. I think the fact that I'm at the top end of my 40's had me especially seeking out someone who is closer to my age. It's a whole 'nother world in our 40's when it comes to cosmetics.
ReplyDeleteI've suddenly become obsessed with nails and am bowled over at all the nail blogs out there. Keep up the great work. I really do love reading your entries.
Oh, and I live in rural Victoria, Australia so it's nice to read about cosmetics that are attainable. ;o)
Wow Dot, your comment has truly blown me away. I don't know what to say other than you made my day and thank you! I agree about the age thing although I know I like to defy the stereotype especially when it comes to my nails! We'll never be too old to a bit of fun with colour! xo
DeleteThe name of this is definitely very fitting, so pretty! It reminds me of satin fabric too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Stacey, I'm actually wondering if this colour is still available as I'd recommend it as a great A/W shade for fingers and toes! xo
DeleteYou know, Indian companies sure have an obsession with pearl finish and pink colour for some reason;)
ReplyDeleteAnother reason the name of this polish is perfect!
