Polish Drop: OPI Houston, we have a purple

Ni ne znam kad sam zadnji put naručila a kamoli fotkala neki OPI lak pa je vrijeme da to ispravim :). Houston, we have a purple (ja bih ga prije nazvala Houston, we have a magenta) predivan je ciklamasti jelly koji na noktima izgleda tekuće, sjajno, kao da ste prste umočili u sirup od malina =P~! Finiš se najbolje vidi na zadnjoj slici, u hladu, iako ni ta fotka ne dočarava potpuno ovu divotu tako da ću morati ponoviti swatcheve. Na fotkama su tri tanka sloja, bez nadlaka. Taman mi je ponestalo mog najdražeg brzosušećeg nadlaka pa mi se Houston malo izgužvao po noći ali ništa strašno što bi se vidjelo uživo, samo na makro fotkama. Formula je kao i kod većine opića standardno dobra. OPI ovaj finiš naziva sorbetom, ja bih rekla da je poboljšana verzija jelly finiša. Neki moji jelly lakovi kad se osuše djeluju lagano mat pa najčešće trebaju sloj nadlaka, što nije slučaj s ovim lakićem. Čak i bez nadlaka izgleda kao staklo. :x Houston je dio ovogodišnje proljetne Texas kolekcije.

I don't even remember the last time I ordered, let alone swatched an OPI so it was about time to rectify that :). Houston, we have a purple (I'd probably call it Houston, we have a magenta) is a gorgeous magenta jelly that looks almost liquid on the nail, like having raspberry syrup on your nails =P~. The last picture shows the finish best, although I will have to redo the swatches because it still doesn't come close to showing it's true beauty. There are three thin coats in these pics, no tc. I just ran out of my favorite fast-drying top coat so Houston wrinkled a bit during the night, but it isn't visible IRL, just in macro shots. As with most OPI polishes I own, the formula is fine. OPI calls this a sorbet finish, but I'd say it's an improved jelly formula. Some of my other jellies usually dry to a slightly matte finish so they usually need a top coat, but not this one. It looks so glossy even without a top coat :x. Houston, we have a purple was released as part of this year's Spring Texas collection.
