Nicole by OPI Nail Treatment, Top Coat Plus, 0.5 Fluid Ounce

 (270 customer reviews)

This polish is a deep-purple-edging-towards-black color which comes as close as you can get to the famous Chanel "Media" of the 90's. It's OPI, hence you're getting a nice bottle of polish for a not so large price that rivals the couture brands - not that most people could tell anyway. I love the whole OPI Russian collection. It has very retro colors that are "in" now so for "old" folks like me, it's nice to have my past made hip. Maybe I wasn't such an outcast after all - I was just cool before my time!

I am as low-maintenance a woman as they come; I can't usually be bothered with fixing polish chips and reapplying because it has bubbles and all the other headaches that have come with my brief forays into growing out and keeping polish on my nails in the past. I finally got smart and decided that cheap polish might be my problem, and looked around for the best-reviewed brand. I was not disappointed. It applied very smoothly, no bubbles, and with a thicker coat than I was expecting. The second coat took the color from a medium red/fuchsia to something just a little too pink to be candy-apple red, and I think I would have been just fine with a single coat, the coverage was that good. And then it stayed, and stayed. I'm usually lucky to get two days with perfect nails; this time I got a week, with only some wear (some very even wear, a thin line of white) at the very tips. I'm very pleased to finally find a polish as low-maintenance as I am!

I was very pleased with my recent purchase of Siberian Nights by OPI. The color is deep and a bit mythical at the same time. I've received many compliments on the first time that I wore it. The service was very prompt and they also included samples!!
