OPI ~ Samovar-y Nice to be here



OPI ~ Samovar-y Nice to be here
Deep orange shimmer

I thought I’d show you another older HTF OPI polish: Samovar-y Nice to be here. It’s from the Moscow Loves OPI collection from winter 2009, and it’s a Russia exclusive.

The formula is great and the polish covers really well. I used two easy coats for my mani and the drying time is average. My boyfriend didn’t mention anything about the smell, so I guess it’s pretty normal (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, you should check out my post about Reflecting Pool here).

Here’s two coats and a layer of topcoat:



The shimmer is great, and I love this colour!


I paired it with a newer OPI “Cinnamon Sweet”, which is a lovely red crème. I applied a layer of the red on top of the orange, and then I used a rough sponge to dab some of the red off again. I made it all come together with a layer of topcoat, and here is my final mani:


I love the look of this!


I am so glad that I have got this orange gem in my collection!


Number of coats: 2
