Shipping disappointment

It probably would have been great but it never showed up and had to request another order to be sent...20 days after placing the order finally got the “express” reship. The whole point was to have it for before my vacation. I gave it plenty of time when I placed the order but it arrived after I got back. Disappointing...

Beautiful color, ugly formula.

Beautiful color, ugly formula. From their Fiji Collection for Spring 2017, OPI's Exotic Birds Do Not Tweet is a vivid, saturated, dandelion-yellow with a creme finish. A wonderful Spring/Summer shade and it does look great on the nail.But the formula! It's horrid. And I understand that yellows tend to be problematic formula-wise. But I've had better. (Butter London Cheeky Chops, OPI My Twin Mimmy). If you're willing to deal with at least three streaky, draggy, cuticle-flooding coats, then the end results might be worth it for you. It self-levels quite nicely and only looks somewhat patchy in the end. The color is so freaking gorgeous, but the subpar formula just makes this one not worth it for me.Wouldn't buy it again.
