Product Brand and Name, Price (CDN), Where Purchased
OPI Nail Lacquer in Do You Think I’m Tex-y from the Texas Collection, $10.00 CDN @ Enviro Trends
Reason for Purchase
I went into the salon to pick up some polishes from the Katy Perry collection. I took a look at the Texas collection while I was there, and this shade interested me.
Notable Features
The polishes are salon quality, and are formulated without formaldehyde, toluene, or dibutyl phthalate (DBPs).
Packaging
OPI polishes come in glass bottles with a black twist off brush cap. They are easy to recognize in a crowd, as their bottles are round and chubby - as are the brush caps.
Experience Using Product
The majority of the polishes in the Texas collection are matte with a glossy finish. They look great in the bottle and great on your nails; Additionally, the majority of the shades in the line are pink or coral based, to go with the spring/summer color trend of coral. Do You Think I’m Tex-y is a deep magenta color; it will look great with Wing It! on top of it. I thought the color may have been a bit to ‘bright’ for work, but I was surprised at how good it looks with professional attire. This color is going to look phenomenal on toenails this summer!
This particular polish shade is deceiving; it looks very opaque and thick, and it’s not! The polish is very thin, and once again I had to apply three coats to get a finish I was satisfied with. I applied Sally Hansen 30 Seconds to Set Insta-Dri Top Coat to the polish, and it has held up remarkably well. I did my nails this Monday, and as of today (Friday) I have no chipping or wear to the polish. This is a first for me, with an OPI polish! Normally I have chips within the first 2 days of wear, regardless of whether or not I apply a top coat.
Would I Re-Purchase, Recommend, or Reject
I would recommend this polish to someone who doesn’t already have a matte magenta polish; if you do, you can skip this one. I won’t be re-purchasing this shade.
