O.P.I. - Nail Lacquer I Have A Herring Problem.

Hello lovely! Today I have another nail lacquer review for you. (You lucky things..!) This time I have tried out 'I Have A Herring Problem' from O.P.I. which is from their Holland Collection. 



I have the 3.75ml / 1/8 Fl Oz bottle from the Dutch Treats mini pack (along with 'Red Lights Ahead...Where?' 'Kiss Me On My Tulips' & 'Pedal Faster Suzi' - reviews also coming soon!) 

This colour reminds me of your favourite old faded pair of jeans, with a silver glittery twist. On the first coat I wasn't feeling the colour at all as the opacity was poor and the appearance of the lacquer was 'watery' at best. But with the second coat the colour was transformed into a deep, rich, somewhat exciting blue shimmer. 



I don't adore this lacquer purely because I removed Dior Bikini (Dah-ling) in order to apply this and as Dior was my last application experience; I was left feeling slightly flat about O.P.I. The brush, consistency of the lacquer and need for more than one coat leaves Dior as a better choice for me overall. Having said that, the O.P.I. price point and vast range of colours is very appealing. 



The most exciting thing about this lacquer is how different it looks in different lights. Per the above picture, when faced with very bright light it turns a really beautiful sparkly sea blue, which I adore. It's colour in slightly darker lights, per the below, doesn't really float my boat though. (See what I did there?)



However, at 12.95 in the Dutch Treats Mini Pack (for FOUR mini's x 3.75ml) or 6.30 for the 15ml full size lacquer - you can't go wrong to add a bit of shimmer to your nails. This isn't my favourite of the O.P.I. range, nor in the Dutch Collection so keep your eyes peeled for more 'affordable' lacquer reviews from O.P.I. coming soon. 

What do you all think about 'I Have A Herring Problem.'?

Always Geek, Forever Chic,
Laura.
