NOTD: OPI 'You Don't Know Jacques!'

I haven't painted my nails since last Wednesday and by now, my nails are looking a little worse for wear (although the Models Own 'In the Navy' did stay on quite well!), so I decided to re-paint my nails tonight!

OPI 'You Don't Know Jacques!' - 2 coats and a base and top coat


I'm not new to the OPI Formulation (I own many of their nail polishes, most of which are some of my favorites!), and this is no exception to the usual quality of OPI nail polishes, it applies easily and looks great! I would definitely say that OPI has some of the best polishes on the market when it comes to application (along with Sally Hanson).

I would describe this color as a grey-taupe, not necessarily a nude nail, but it still works really well for Autumn/Winter time! I also simply love the name, it's so cute; then again, all of OPI nail polishes have great names!

The only issue I've noticed with all OPI nail polishes is that you definitely need at least 2 coats to get the proper color.  After one coat of this nail polish, it was a streaky brown mess on my nails, but after the second coat, it was beautiful!  Also, one other issue I've noticed with OPI nail polishes is that you constantly have to keep re-dipping the brush, even when doing the same nail, which is a major disappointment for me.

I bought this at Ulta for $8.50 (or something similar to that), which is an amazing value for the price.  I know that these are much more expensive in Europe - I saw them at Harrods for £11 and at Douglas for €16, both of which are over twice the price of the U.S. price!  However, it's still worth it in my opinion!
