OPI: Charmed, I’m Sure
Fuchsia purple shimmer

“Charmed, I’m Sure” is from OPI’s holiday 2022 collection “Jewel Be Bold”.

The colour of “Charmed, I’m Sure” is gorgeous but the formula is so tricky. It’s patchy and not easy to apply. It’s sheer as well. Not a winner formula-wise. I used three coats for my nails. The drying time is average.

I applied a bit of glitter by the base of my nails. The glitter is CND Creative Play’s “Look No Hands”.

This is the final result:

Look at how pretty it is.

And here’s “Charmed, I’m Sure” alone; three coats and no topcoat yet.

It’s a shame that the formula is both tricky and sheer – and that the drying time is “only” average. The colour is super gorgeous, but… I’m not sure I have patience for this in future.


Number of coats: 3
Drying time: Average
Finish: Shimmer
Overall impression: Tricky, sheer formula, average drying time. Gorgeous colour but it doesn’t quite make up for the formula problems

OPI: Go To Grape Lengths
Described as A grape purple shade with a slight blue sheen and a burst of glitter specks

“Go To Grape Lengths” is from the
OPI Power of Hue Summer 2022 Collection.

The formula is patchy, both on first and second coat. I had to paint very carefully in order to make it cover in two coats. The drying time is really good though.

I placed a simple floral nail sticker by the base of each nail.

This is the final result, including topcoat.
