This is from OPI’s Texas collection from Spring 2011. Who knows when I actually picked this up! It’s their “sorbet” finish- aka jellies. I didn’t know that, so I was surprised at how sheer it was, lol. I did three coats of this, and I was super impressed at the formula. For such a sheer… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday OPI Houston We Have a Purple
