Here is what I have on my nails today. I left my nails alone for a few days so they breathe a little bit (and as you can see I trimmed them because one chipped and then broke so I filed all of them down) and yesterday as I was going through my nail polish box I realized I neglected this color for a while so I thought why not use it! This is my first nail polish that I bought from Sephora by O.P.I. I have used Sephora nail polishes in the past and was very unhappy with them both because the brush was very cheap quality and the polish went bad super fast. I was skeptical buying On Stage but seeing O.P.I on it made me feel better because O.P.I really makes some of the best nail polishes, if not the best. I love love love this color, I want to call it mauve taupe? Does look like some shade of purple/plum, Sephora calls it grey plum. Applying it is fairly easy, mostly because the formula is good. Brush could definitely improve and be thicker needless to say it's lacking bristles big time. Look at the comparison of it to an O.P.I brush. It is $9 and I think for that price, they could have made a better brush. Even O.P.I nail polishes are cheaper than that at $8.50 :) I'm also wondering O.P.I's contribution to these nail polishes since they chip pretty easy, I only had this color on for 24 hours WITH a top coat and I am already beginning to see the tips of my nails. I don't have this problem with a regular O.P.I nail polish, at all, even without a top coat. Could it be a marketing trick, since I am sure Sephora knows people will be more likely to buy the nail polish if they see an O.P.I on it? Who knows...As with most nail polishes, I recommend two coats of this. Is there a nail polish that looks good with only 1 coat? I doubt it, let me know though! I confess, sometimes if I am in a hurry and don't want to leave my nails bare I will thrown on a coat even though I know it looks so unglamorous...I am wearing my nail hardener as a base coat, 2 coats of On Stage and a top coat.

What a beautiful plum color! I would've never looked at colors like this before, but now I'm thinking I will! It looks so wearable! <3
ReplyDelete@ ellinelle, thanks darling! I think this color would look good on any skin, it's one of those colors :)
ReplyDelete@ La Princesa, thank you hun! I used to have acrylic nails because I was biting my nails constantly and it really helped to get them, didn't ruin my nails though, is that what happened to you??
@ Miss P, thanks for your comment, give it a shot! :)
Soooo funny how you say you wanted to call it mauve taupe because with my first take on it I thought - nice mauve/plum color with a taupe undertone! Pretty color! I like it!
