Like it

I like the color it's earthy. Looks reat on fingers. Lots of compliments.

Earthy

It’s not the pink that is pictured. I like the color, very earthy. But not the shade I was expecting.

OPI GelColor - Dulce de Leche 0.5 oz - #GCA15

Gorgeous Color

This color is gorgeous. In my entire gel polish collection it is all neutrals and this is by far my favorite neutral color. Looks natural but you can tell there is color (taupe pink) on the nails. Lasts for two weeks. I am taking this off tonight (its been over two weeks) and am applying it again right after because this color is amazing.

Happy with my purchase

I’d repurchase this. Good quality and as described
