So this one I actually did for Halloween weekend because it went with my costumes. Magically, it went with both costumes I had planned for the weekend (Raggedy Ann and a 1920's flapper). I don't know how I got out of sequence.
Nevermind the open car door in the background. This is OPI's Thrill of Brazil, and oldie but a goodie. This is my go-to shade if I can't decide on something or if I just need a quick polish change. It applies opaque in two coats to a shiny gel. It's not a creme since it doesn't have that milky quality in the bottle, but this is a classic red manicure color. With the right top coat, very chip resistant. A timeless shade that will never go out of style that will class up (and sass up) your outfit. It is, in my opinion, perfect.
I actually found a top coat that was supposed to turn any lacquer into a gel mani, and it actually works. It's a Sally Hanson product that I found at my local CVS and it made my French manicure last almost two weeks. I can't even get a solid color to last two weeks, a French manicure usually lasts about two days if I'm lucky. I went to try to find it at Ulta and the girls there had no idea what I was talking about, so I might just have to see if it's still at my CVS.
This is the only shade I have ever used the entire full sized bottle. Ever. I have two in my stockpile just in case it ever gets discontinued, knock on wood.
OPI Thrill of Brazil retails for $8.50 US plus sales tax.
