OPI Nail Lacquer, Italian Love Affair, 0.5-Fluid Ounce

 (4 customer reviews)

Love it, but thin. I bought the Italian Love Affair in the nail lacquer and love the color. Vibrant, long lasting color without the chips and scratches that I typically end up with on my polish. I'm very low maintenence and have no time to touch up polish, I need it to work for me and stay. This one did the job. Only con was that it's an extremely thin polish and I had to put on several coats, but then it lasts a long time. My nails grow out before I need to reapply.

Eh. Really not crazy about this one. Very, very thin, and it's difficult to adjust the amount of polish you pick up on the brush in order to get an even coverage. Too little, and it's streaky. Too much, and it pools horribly at the cuticles. (And I mean horribly.) The pink is lighter than I'd expect seeing it in the bottle, but not so light as to be iridescent, which would have been a nice effect with one thin coat on and with its shimmery pearl finish.

So, between the streaks, the difficult application, and the way its colour set my teeth on edge, I'll pass.

Really difficult to apply - the brush is way too big and hard to work with. The formula thin and streaky and glue-like at the same time. The color - so pearly it looks very cheap. Hated it.
