Classic Monday "Tickle My France-y" Review

I thought I would start Classic Collection Monday because what are we without the classics? 

Tickle My France-y is described as "In this naughty shade of nude" by OPI. (Does anyone else think that's a silly tag line?)

Tickle My France-y nude pink colour with a hint of beige. Way too much beige I think.

This polish was originally part of OPI's La Collection De France released in 2008 and is now part of the Classic Collection. I got this polish as a mini part of the Best of the Best Holiday Collection and I'm glad I did. This is not a colour, I'll ever wear again but it might be handy for nail art. I think the mini bottles are a great way to try out a colour before committing to a full size bottle.

Finish

There are soo many polish finishes (finish not polish) I thought it would be handy to have a list of some of the more common ones. Feel free to add any I may have missed!

Creme Most popular polish finish (unless your a glitter lover like myself). Plain (boring) colour without any glitz, or sparkle added. Dries glossy and smooth. Think grown up job appropriate.

Metallic dries to a finish that's look like metal (think coloured stainless steel). Very shiny. 

Matte dries, with no shine or sparkle at all. (strangely, I love it)

Suede dries matte, but(!) has a slight shimmer (best of both worlds).

Shimmer  metallic meets creme and dries shiny.

Lincoln Park After Dark

OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark is described as "Where Midnight Meets Purple" by O.P.I.

Lincoln Park After Dark is beautiful glossy deep eggplant colour.

This colour is one of my all time favourites for fall/winter. It is a very dark colour and for those unfamiliar, it can appear almost black in the bottle. But don't be scared it doesn't look black on!!

OPI "Dim Sum Plum" Review

"Dim Sum Plum"

OPI Dim Sum Plum is described as "A berry delectable delicacy" by O.P.I.

Dim Sum Plum is a pink/plum cream colour from OPI's Hong Kong Collection.

I bought this colour as part of a two-pack that included Drip Drop. It's not usually a colour I would normally buy, but I really wanted Drip Drop. Normally, I do tend to stay away from creme finish preferring metallic, holo or glitter. (Seriously, I should be married to mobster and living in NJ, I love bling).

I found the formula to be kind of on the thick side. This could become a problem later on but that's nothing some polish thinner can't fix. Due to it's thickness,  I would suggest waiting at least 1-2 minutes between coats. (Maybe that's why it came with Drip Drops. light bulb.)  The good thing about the thick formula is that even a habitual 3 coater like myself is satisfied with opacity after 2 coats. The formula goes on well with no streaking or bald spots and dries to such a glossy finish that I didn't need a top coat. Even without a protective top coat, I found I had little to no tip wear even after several days.
