OPI: Suzi & the 7 Dusseldorfs

Suzi & the 7 Dusseldorfs was the first polish which caught my eye from OPI's new Germany Collection and I couldn't wait to wear it!

OPI describes this bright metallic purple as a red-violet and this shade has an obvious red undertone to it.  The red adds a subtle warmth to this purple polish making it a very flattering shade to wear so there are no dead hands here!  I'm an unapologetic purple fan so of course I'll tell you I love this polish.  This is two coats with top coat, although I would recommend three coats for a perfectly even coverage.

All pictures taken outdoors in cloudy daylight conditions - yes again...





Thanks again for looking!

Vita :)

      You'll love this polish IRL Saumya! It's very bright for a deeper purple!

      Thank you Maria, this is one of my favourite shades from the collection! The shine's been helped along a bit with a layer of top coat :)

    It's a gorgeous purple and totally caught my eye, too. I totally underestimated this collection and was blown away when I saw it in person! Looks great, Vita. :D

      I've been hearing that too - some others have said they're not sure about the collection but I fell in love as soon as the swatches came out!

    I'm not much of a purple fan, but wow this is a pretty shade! I think the red undertones is what makes me like it, the cooler toned purples don't excite me for some reason.

      Glad you like it Emma! A purple like this won't drain the life out of you so it's a lot easier to wear, and definitely prettier than the traditionally cooler shades :)

    I have still yet to see this collection in person! This color is pretty unique, huh? I haven't seen tons of it around.
