OPI Venice Collection: Purple Palazzo Pants

I'm getting so fussy when it comes to buying nail polish these days and as the never ending stream of new collections roll out I see less and less in them to really interest me.  I find myself doing a mental stocktake of what I already have and then decide that I've already got something the same or similar and I pass on the purchase.

This is why I only bought one shade from OPI's new Venice Collection - and to be honest this shade isn't unique either. It's just my weakness for purple that bit me again! Purple Palazzo Pants is a lavender cream that is absolutely to my taste so that's why I was tempted and of course it sings of spring too.  Application was typically easy and done in two coats, although I very nearly ruined it with a top coat that's starting to thicken and is now prone to bubbling...

Were you tempted by any of the shades in the Venice collection?

      Yes, I love how this purple has a little bit of pink in it too so it reminds a little of spring blossoms :)

    Such a beautiful colour! Purple is one of my absolute favourite shades to wear in nail polish. I'm totally where you're at in terms of nail polishes - I've finally come to my senses I have way too many bottles and have been properly deterred from adding to my collection!

      Yes, I'm a bit jaded with the glut of collections - it takes a lot to get me really excited these days but there's only a finite number of colours so...

    I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum sadly - my polish addiction has only just begun and since I've purged a stack of unwanted shades I find myself collection new quality bottles to round out my collection! Nothing from this collection caught my eye though, though I'm looking at some of the Starlight shades right now which seem quite nice...

      Hmm...I'm curious...I think I'll be checking out Starlight to see if anything gets me excited. Honestly, I really shouldn't though!
