Red Lights Ahead… Where?

Name: Red Lights Ahead… Where?

Collection: Holland 2012

Colour: Orangey Red

Coats: 2 - 3

Pros: A bright and punchy red with an exciting twist of orange. It’s a bit thin and messy so I had to clean up the edges a bit, but it turned out with smooth gloss finish. This is a great colour for those of you who want to transition into orange shades without being too bold.

Cons: I prefer true reds instead of ones with orange in them. Also, even after 3 coats, the polish on the tips of my nails flaked really easily.

Similar Shades: Almost identical to “OPI on Collins Ave” from the South Beach and “Monsooner or Later” from the India Collection.

This is a sample colour provided by OPI!

Miami Beet

Name: Miami Beet

Collection: South Beach

Colour: Deep Beetroot Fuschia

Coats: 2

Pros: A stunning colour that looks great all year round. I love it for when I can’t decide between red, pink and purple because it combines all three! It has a beautiful gloss and always draws compliments. It’s also great for pedicures.

Cons: It is a bit watery so application is a little difficult and I often end up having to clean up the edges of my nails. Also it chips and wears very easily and causes some staining because of its strong pigment.

Similar Shades: “Flashbulb Fushia” is pretty much the same colour but with a little shimmer while “Congeniality Is My Middle Name” adds a little more red to the fuchsia and some sparkle.
