OPINail Lacquer Nail Polish | Opaque Dark Blue Purple Shimmer Chip Resistant Nail Polish | Vegan, Fast Drying, Streak Free

I kind of feel like I’m starting to rickroll my friends with “polish change!” photos that are just another week of my obsession with OPI Scorpio Seduction 😭 I almost didn’t order this, but decided, what the heck, why not, and it has been my go-to polish for going on three months now.I usually stick to dark (black or black-adjacent) colors (Essie Licorice, OPI Midnight Mantra, Essie Punk at Heart, OPI Lincoln Park After Dark) so this was a bit of a departure from the norm for me, but I LOVE it. There is no doubt that it’s blue. I think OPI describes it as a cobalt blue? If you’re into “seasonally appropriate colors” (I am not), I think this could be great for any time of year, but perhaps especially fun for summer in the sunshine, or even a winter wonderland sort of look.When I was contemplating ordering it, I wasn’t completely sold on the shimmer/glitter aspect, but in person, it’s awesome. To me, there are three levels to it: the cobalt blue color itself, the shimmer you can see straight-on, but also there’s a sort of chrome-y flash to it that can go teal to blue to purple to even magenta?? depending on the light. My skin has “witch undertones” (light olive) but some shades, if they’re not blue-toned enough, really bring out the redness/irritation I get in my hands. This shade suits me well AND is fun to look at!Sometimes I do two coats, but usually it’s three, plus Essie Strong Start and Good to Go that I use with every polish change. I’m not super hard on my hands, so ymmv, but I usually get a week (give or take a day) out of it, sometimes with touch-ups. I do find this wears a bit longer than the blue/green Essie shades I have. It’s a bit more tenacious about removal (with non-acetone especially) than the creme shades I have, on par with the other sparklies (like Essie Studs and Spikes), though not challenging.My OPI Midnight Mantra and LPAD went suuuuper gloopy suuuuper fast, and are stubborn about it despite (frequent) solvent additive, so I was about to give up on OPI. Scorpio Seduction has given me a change of heart—it is thinner to start, so maybe that helps? So while it may be discouraging to see how sheer it is on the first coat, it builds well and in my experience is so far less frustrating to apply than their creme shades.This will be a definite repurchase for me, unless it goes away, or I get sick of it, which, by the looks of things, is improbable. In other words: never gonna give, never gonna give (give you up)

Very pretty color! Does not take long to dry. I get compliments everywhere I go wearing this color.

Best , longest lasting polish on the market. Vibrant colors

Very pretty color for the 4th of July

Absolutely beautiful metallic blurple. Very dark, and inside it often reads as super dark purple. However, under more intense light, or sunshine, the subtle blue pearl shows up a bit more, and the flake sparkles slightly. This is a very complex and interesting color. Use it when you want people to see dark purple, because unless they are LOOKING they may miss the subtle details.

Pretty, but more like a plum that has a bit of blue in the right light.

This is absolutely a beautiful color. It doesn’t matter the season. Full coverage and beautiful

I love OPI nail polish. This color is beautiful. Purple for a purpose. My dad has Alzheimer’s and purple is their color. You will not be disappointed with OPI!
