I would like to buy 3. Never had them before but they look lovely. What are your favourite colour? Like purples / pinks/ peaches / nudes. Probably not bright yellow.

Opi 'Parlez vous opi' - lovely mauve
Opi 'I'm feeling sashy' - raspberry mauve
are my favourites currently, along with Essie 'angora cardi', a gorgeous muted berry shade.

I love Every day is Oktoberfest, it's like a shimmery dark red / purple / gold. Very hard to describe and probably not what you were looking for, but you must at least look it up. It's blinking amazing.

Apologies for the missing comma, the space it should be in is burning my eyes Angry

You need to choose the colours that flatter your own skin tone ... same as clothes.

Thank you. I’m determined to have nice nails. Mine always chipped and weak. Going to give it a go.

Funny Bunny - my fave pale pink! And Lincoln Park After Dark which is the perfect dark colour.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 09/09/2018 18:03

My Favourite is Berlin There Done That. It's a sort of greige colour.

Want2bSupermum · 09/09/2018 18:57

Hollywood diva is a good neutral for me on my toes.

MrsPob · 09/09/2018 19:03

Ivgotasecretcanyoukeepit · 09/09/2018 19:20

Big Apple Red - classic red, matches any skin tone, absolutely favourite

Does anyone know if OPI are cruelty free?

They used to be but they sell in China now .

Grace32 · 10/09/2018 03:11

"Maintaining my sand-ity"! My favourite nude

sofato5miles · 10/09/2018 08:45

Malaga Wine is my signature colour. Have to buy it at airports and take it to the nail ladies nowadays. Barely any salons have it.

OyWithThePoodles · 10/09/2018 18:08

Another vote for Lincoln Park After Dark. Also, My Private Jet.

JuneMyNameIsJune · 10/09/2018 18:49

My all time favourite is A Good Mandarin is Hard To Find which is a coral red. I love it in summer on my toes.

Also like the Gel Break Trio in Barely Beige. It's the perfect neutral shade for nails.

Lincoln Park is a classic and a good dupe for Chanel. I also like the non-sparkly navy blues - there are a few good ones.
