OPI - Holland Collection - I Have a Herring Problem


OPI - Holland Collection - I Have a Herring Problem £7.99

Now this is from the Holland Collection which came out in 2012 so a little bit old now, that doesn't stop the colour being amazing and the price is cheaper which is always good.

I'd only looked at the shade online and would have described it as a sparkly blue with a hint of grey, however wearing it I would say it is more of a grey with a hint of blue, also with a hint of sparkles. Now it isn't that I don't like it, it is just a little bit different to what I expected - I will be getting plenty of use out of this though.

I'm wearing two coats in the photos, I think I could have done with three as when it dried some nails were a little patchy. Speaking of drying - it did this very well, I had full use of my hands within 20 minutes which is handy as I always start to itch somewhere as soon as I've painted my nails. Longevity of this is perfect, as with all OPI I find I can get a good four days out of them no chipping even without a top coat.

I love the OPI collections - mainly because of the inventive names for each shade. Good job the quality is there too or I would have a load of never used, cleverly named bottles of nail varnish.

    1. It does make a nice change, it's actually a rather good colour for this period we're in, still winter not quite spring. xx

    1. The camera doesn't quite pick up the little bits of sparkle that well, they are tiny but rather beautiful! xx

  5. Definitely not a blue colour! Oh well these things happen when you buy online. It is however still a gorgeous colour. I'd love to see a nail polish collection :)

    1. No, I've now got it in my head that I want a light blue too so I'm going have to find something else - maybe in the shops rather than online! xx
