OPI - Russian Collection

[Lea]

Here's my Russian Navy nails!

 

[ragtag]

wow, that's beautiful! i think i'll definitely be picking up Russian Navy and Midnight in Moscow.... for when my nails grow out. i have an old bottle of Creative Nail Design Blue Blood (now discontinued) that is similar but almost has a slight green tint. this one looks more like a true deep blue. it really is a color that makes pale skin look very porcelain. Midnight in Moscow looks as though it might be similar to Rescue Beauty Lounge's Revamp polish, which i've wanted forever but refuse to pay to have shipped to me.

this site has an excellent review complete with swatches of each.

I'm going to the US in a few weeks (Chicago) can someone tell me a good place to buy OPI from? It's hard to get in Australia.
TIA!

Go to opi.com....
you can pick the city and state and they will give you a list of places that carry it.

That's beautiful Lea!!
Thanks for the pic.
I am for sure going to go look for that today.

went to a nail salon yesterday and picked up vodka & caviar, and siberian nights (which is more of a dark plum than an eggplant.. a bit warmer)
i've already got siberian nights on my hands and vodka & caviar on my feet

they didn't have russian navy there but i'll look around for it whenever i can

i've had siberian nights on my nails for the past week... i love how they look!

has anyone tried An Affair in Red Square? i'm just wondering how it looks on, because in the bottle it looks like a beautiful red with shimmer.

yesterday i picked up Russian Navy and Midnight in Moscow. i was surprised by how purple Russian Navy looked in the bottle, but when i swatched it, it looked more navy. Midnight in Moscow looks plummy in the bottle but nearly black with the most subtle red shimmer when swatched. of course Vodka and Caviar was sold out! An Affair in Red Square might satisfy my craving for red though.

thinking of french menicure with cosmo-not tonight honey as a tip and midnight and moscow (or russian navy) as a base, and i like the an affair in red square (a very sexy red ) too XD

^Vodka and Caviar is the exact same as the Red Hot Ayer's Rock Aussie collection

 

[ragtag]

jjbunny79, that sounds like it would make a very cool french manicure.

thanks for the tip nicky25!

I picked up Kreme de la Kremlin and Vodka & Caviar on Friday, I can't wait to try them out!

I didn't buy it but sampled it at the salon....
it is a beautiful red shimmer...
but I thought it was a bit too shimmery for my taste.
I think it looks more shimmery on the nail than in the bottle.

^ hey, thanks! i read somewhere that it was kind of a red 'foil' look. hmm, i might pass on this one. i'm looking for something like Dorothy's ruby slippers.
NARS has a polish coming in the holiday collection called Saratoga... it's a shimmery ruby red and looks beautiful. just might be the one.

Love the dark purple wine colours! OPI has the best range of nail colours

I went hunting for Russian Navy yesterday and couldnt find it ANYWHERE. It was all sold out! I was pretty sad...

My manicurist made me try Russian Navy and I was very hesitant because well ...its a blue and I'm not one to wear blue polish. But I was pleasantly surprised and I love it. I got Midnight in Moscow too and i'm hooked.

 

[oceanharlot]

I've got russian navy on now, so pretty! looks great with all my grey, indigo & yellows I'm wearing now. I love how the purple flash is just visible up close. very cool.

I made my manicurist sell me her bottle... really really love the color!

 

[ragtag]

^ Russian Navy does look so great when worn with neutrals or complementary colors - i love it! it looks like a basic metallic navy until you're in the sun or bright light, and then all those colors of shimmer just pop out. i'm really loving this entire collection... i'll probably have every polish when all is said and done.

Oh I like Boris and Natasha and Catherine The Grape. They'll look fantastic on my nails.
