This Twinsie Tuesday, we are to share our most hated and/or unflattering polish. At first I had a hard time figuring out what I was going to do for this post because if I hate a polish or find it unflattering, I get rid of it. What's the point of keeping it around. So I decided to go with a polish that I remembered trying once before and I wasn't wowed by it. It does absolutely nothing for me on the nail. As a matter of fact, as I write this, I really don't think it's flattering on me either. Idk, you be the judge!
OPI Manicurist of Seville is a polish I picked up at Duane Reade, not because the color caught my eye, but the price did. It was 50% off, making it $4. I don't even know how to describe the color. Plum? Wine? Not sure. The formula is excellent! It's a crelly finish and goes on so easily. It's fully opaque in two coats and dries fairly quickly and to a shine. The pics below are two coats with no base or top coat.

I don't think this is a horrible color. It's just blah! I'll have to come up with a plan for this one.
Don't forget to visit the other twinsies! Check out the polishes they hate or find unflattering.

oooo... I like it! But I also think berries are pretty universally flattering.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cordia!
DeleteOh, I kinda like it on you. I understand what you mean though about it not wow'ing you. If there was just a tad more purple and less red, I think it would look amazing on you.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree Amanda!
DeleteI really think this color looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christina!
DeleteIt's a pretty color, but I agree with you and find it lacking on the wow factor...can't wait to see what youhave planned for it though.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it needs some umph! Flakies maybe? ;0)
DeleteI also think this looks nice on you, but I can agree there is no wow factor. This looks like one a former coworker used to always wear. I mean if her nails were not clear this was it. She thought it was cutting edge haha.
ReplyDeleteLOL @ cutting edge!! She could never the colors us addicts have then.
DeleteI think it looks awesome on you! But honestly, I've never seen a color not look good on you!
ReplyDeleteAwww.. Thanks Brandi!
Deletehaha i know what you mean by blah. the only reason i still have this one around is to use it for stamping!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I'm sure it goes well with so many other colors!
DeleteI like this on you!
ReplyDeleteThanks hon!
DeleteI like this color but I think you should have either a touch bolder or a touch darker. Don't dislike it on you though, but that's because of your pretty nails ♥.
ReplyDeleteAwww... Thanks so much Deborah!
DeleteSo I like this on you! But I can see why you might not like it.. lol.. It's one of those polishes you want to like, and will wear just to show some love to it.
ReplyDeleteYep, exactly!
DeleteI think it looks great on you, but I totally understand your reasoning. Some colors just don't deliver like we want them to.
ReplyDeleteExactly!! Thanks for commenting ;0)
DeleteI like it. Maybe you can franken it?
ReplyDeleteI may end up there ChiChi, but I'm going to try some layering combos first. Thanks for the suggestion.
DeleteOoh I like it, this would be great for fall/winter
ReplyDeleteYou're right. It's definitely a great fall color!
DeleteI think this is pretty XD!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ashley!!
DeleteI think it is flattering on you! I really like it!
ReplyDeleteAwww.. Thanks love!
DeleteI like the colour, but it'd look better on you than me, its like it cant quite decide if it wants to be red or purple!
ReplyDeleteI actually think it would like nicer on you. But I agree, it needs to make up its mind, lol!
DeleteI think this is pretty on you!
ReplyDeleteThanks hon!
DeleteI like this on you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Meredith!
DeleteNot such a bad color. I can see why you think it's blah though lol. But yea, not that bad of a color :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Traci! Yeah, I don't think it's bad, just blah on me.
DeleteYeah I just saw this one myself and though it look blah myself so I passed it over but I think it looks fantastic against your skin tone!
ReplyDeleteThanks hon!
DeleteLooks like a good base for flakies. :)
ReplyDeleteAn excellent base for flakies!! I'll definitely be experimenting with it.
DeleteI actually like this polish! I think it's 'plain' but flattering. And you can't beat the price. I'm a sucker for clearance polish, even if I don't love it lol
ReplyDeleteMe tooo!!! Even if I don't see myself wearing it, I pick up a clearance polish. Just because, lol!
DeleteI like this on you quite a bit! It may not be terribly unique but it has kind of a vampy lean to it that I like.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chelsea ;0)
DeleteLayer this bad boy up!:)
ReplyDeleteHaha!! Yep, that's what I plan to do ;0)
DeleteI don't know why you're not into it. I think it looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bethany!
DeleteIt is stunning on you, I love theses deep red wine colors go nice with a real glass of plonk!
ReplyDeleteReally?? Glad you like it ;0).
DeleteI do like this color! It would probably look better on you if it was warmer toned. But I don't think it's that bad. Maybe a little glitter could fix it!
ReplyDeleteGlitter can fix anything, lol!!
