OPI Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh?

GORGEOUS day in Virginia Beach! awesome walk on the beach, much more of a workout than usual, the wind was really blowing... Jemima and i are exhausted. i'm being super lazy for the rest of today, swatching and blogging, with Rizzoli and Isles on in the background... my favorite show of all time :)

today is the first day of the 2012 OPI Holland collection swatches! we're starting off with the ultra fabulous Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh?, an almost mannequin hand khaki nude cream. it would be a nice two coater, but i messed up and so had to add a third coat. i have very, very fair skin so it is less pale looking on me than it would be on most. there are greY undertones, but it is clearly khaki. i absolutely adore this color!!

one coat Seche Base, three coats DYEAVG, one coat Seche Vite.

please, please excuse those cuticles! yikes! hopefully, the weather will stay warm and my skin will return to normal... thinking warm thoughts, Ria :)
