A while ago I came across a very pretty nude nail polish. I don’t have a lot of nude coloured nail polishes in my collection, so I decided to buy it. It’s by OPI and it’s called You’re So Vanilla. Today it’s time for the review. If you’re interested in finding out how I ended up liking this OPI nail polish, make sure you keep on reading!
The OPI Nail Polishes always come in these really pretty big bottles. I really love that about OPI. Their polishes aren’t the cheapest, but at least you do get a decent amount of polish for your money. Another great thing about the OPI polishes is the brush it comes with. It doesn’t have a special shape like the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel polishes have or the Essie nail polishes, but it’s really nice to work with and I like using them.
OPI has one of the biggest colour selections of all nail polish brands and therefore unlimited choice. The colour I’m reviewing today is called You’re So Vanilla. I once saw it, I guess at TK Maxx, and since I don’t really have a lot of neutral nail colours, I decided to take it with me.
You’re So Vanilla is a very pretty yellowy nail polish with a bit of a beigy/greyish undertone. It’s pretty unique, at least I have never really seen something like it, and I think it is a colour that goes with lots of outfits. Aside from being a nice nail colour for everyday wear, I also think it’s a great base colour for nail arts. That because it’s very neutral and it looks good with lots of other colours.
Even though I am positive about the colour, I didn’t like the way it looked on my nails. There’s just something not right about it for me. I can’t put my finger on what it is, but I just didn’t like the look of it.
Sorry for the messy application.
Despite the fact that I ended up not liking the colour too much, the polish is still really amazing. It’s very opaque and covers perfectly within two coats, which is ,for a light coloured polish like this one, pretty amazing. It also has a very nice finish to it, especially when you put a nice top coat on top of it.
The lasting power is pretty great too, but not impressive. It stayed in place for about 3 days, after that I started noticing some tip wear. After 4 to 5 days I really had to take it off.
Overall I think this OPI polish in You’re So Vanilla is pretty okay. It’s not my favourite colour on earth, but aside from that I like the way it works and looks. In general I really like the quality of the OPI nail polishes. Aside from the fact that this colour wasn’t really my cup of tea, I do recommend it. Maybe go for a different colour if you’re not that into this shade either, but quality wise it’s definitely worth the money.
The OPI Nail Polishes are available online and in beauty stores for €15,-.
That was it for today. I hope you enjoyed reading today’s review and let me know how you like this polish!
Ik ben gek op OPI en wat is dit een mooie nude kleur.
Ik vind het een mooi lakje! Je kan hem dragen wanneer je maar wil en dat vind ik wel het grootste pluspunt hiervan. Jammer dat je deze zo tegen vindt vallen.
Liefs
Hmm, zelfde mening als jij! Vind hem niet geweldig, maar ook niet lelijk of stom. Lekker neutraal kleurtje, op z’n tijd is dat best leuk! 🙂
