OPI Nails

I am looking for a light lilac shade (cream - not frosted) - any recs from you opi fans out there?

I think they used to have a shade like that called "shangri-la-la-lilac" but unfortunately, it's discontinued!

How about Loyalty Islands Lilac? It's not a flat matte cream, has a teeny amount of shimmer in it, but not noticable at all unless you peer very closely.

Thanks Jenine! I suppose I could get the loyalty islands if there's no cream-based lilac color available. It sound very pretty too!

WOW!!OPI is sososo popular here! I've tried 2 of OPI's colour, one was chicago champagne, e other i cannot recall. I notice that OPI mostly offers sheer nail polish and I prefer something matte.

I do love its quality, ease in application and quick drying (maybe due to the fact that it is sheer though, i notice that sheer tones dry faster).

Is there any matte tones that OPI has too?
:roll: :roll:

matte as in a total matte non shiny finish? or do you mean just non shimmery?

[Peace]

Babyflite, matte as in non shimmery. i can accept shine and it looks expecially nice with top coat. What i do not really favour abt sheer tones are that i find that it looks slightly metallic and non-reflective.

Do you have any go on that? Thanks

[babyflite]

OPI does have non shimmery shades. One of my personal fave is Vampire State Building, a dark cherry red with no shimmer.

[Peace]

Thank you Babyflite.

Sweeties, where else can i purchase OPI nail polishes? Do they have any shops or i can only get them at nail salons? Cause all the OPI colours that my manicurist sells are sheer but according to Babyflite, they do have matte tones.

Hi Peace,
There's a shop at Orchard Emerald called Nail Spa and Beauty Care that sells a pretty big range of OPI colours sheer, matte, shimmery. Each bottle at $19.

There's a shop at Far East Plaza which sells it at $18. It's a small manicure/pedicure shop at the same level as Sunny Ang, or one level up.. It's located right at the end..
