NOTD: OPI - Basque In The Sun

Friday 18 May 2012


Still no sign of any sunny weather in the UK (or at least where I am anyway!), but I'm slowly being drawn towards more summery nail polish shades.  Kinda.  OPI's Basque In The Sun, is something of a go-between perhaps?  It's a toffeeish, burnt caramel sort of shade and I can't honestly tell whether I like it or not.  It's one of the oldest OPIs in my entire nail polish collection and I must have bought it when I was looking for 'unusual' colours.  I think it would look much better with tanned/olive skin, but yeah, after I painted my nails, I ended up looking down at them and thinking 'Meh'.  Maybe it's a grower? We'll see.

What do you think? Fugly or not? 

P.S - Last day to enter my Treacle Moon Iced Strawberry Dream Bath & Shower Gel giveaway! I will be picking THREE lucky winners sometime tomorrow evening.  Get your entries in here!

  6. I like the beautiful rich shade of brown but I don't like the shine! It would've been better suited to a matte polish I reckon!
    You have nice nails :)

    1. the shine is a bit overkill isn't it? may well look better with a matte top coat instead! x

  7. I really, really dislike this in the bottle but I actually quite like it on. I like the shine as well, I don't know if I would like it if it was matte.

    1. When I first picked it up I really wasn't sure about it in the bottle, but it does look better on the nails and comes off a bit lighter too which I think it gives it a bit more warmth xx
