NOTD: Dark Plum



I honestly didn't think I would find anything in the new OPI collection 'Touring America' that was worth buying - but I was wrong!

While out shopping yesterday, I fell in love with the new shade I Break for Manicures, a gorgeous dark plum-burgundy. I also picked up a fun shade called Its My Year (not from the Touring America collection); in the bottle it's a duo-chome grape purple with gold and grape shimmers.

It was no surprise to me when I picked both shades as the colors I would paint my nails this week! I did all of my nails in the I Break for Manicures color, and then used Its My Year as my accent nail color for my ring finger.

I love the look of dark nail polish on short nails - it makes them 'pop'. I also love the shade because it is very fall appropriate - and fall is my favorite season!

Two coats of I Break for Manicures was all I needed to get a completely opaque finish on my nails. I only used one coat of Its My Year on my accent nails.

I'm really hoping that when I go to take this color off, I don't end up with burgundy staining on my skin - but we'll see!

Here are some better pictures of my nails:
