NOTD: OPI 'We'll Always Have Paris'

My mind has been on one thing all week: Paris.  A friend of mine lives in Paris and has invited me to go visit him there one weekend.  Unfortunately, I'm not sure I'll be able to go until December or January, so for now, I'm just going to have to dream!

In order to ease my heart from the sorrow of not going to France for a few months I decided to paint my nails one of my all-time favorite nail colors: OPI's 'We'll Always Have Paris' from their France collection from a few years back (I'm a hoarder, what can I say?).

Base coat, 2 coats of OPI's 'We'll Always Have Paris', and a top coat

As you can see, it's a really dark purple shade, which is perfect for the cooler months.  It's so dark, it almost looks black on my nails, and I know that I've said before that I think dark colors don't work on my skin-tone, but I really think this is an exception!  It makes my fingers look really long, and the color itself is more of a red-purple than a blue-purple (if that makes sense), which I think makes it a little less harsh against my skin-tone!

The lasting power is decent, I've had it on for a couple of days without any issues, but I would say that 5 days is probably the maximum for the lasting power.  I believe the country collections from OPI are limited edition, so you probably can't pick this shade up, but maybe I'm wrong, otherwise give eBay or Amazon a go!  I would definitely recommend the shade for anyone looking for a dark purple shade - it's my favorite purple :)

OPI polishes retail for $8.50.

Hope you enjoyed :)
