FOTM: OPI Ink

Don't forget my poll!  Only a few days left to vote for next month's featured finish! 

Hi everyone!  You may have noticed new tabs in my navigation bar.  I finally organized my stash!  I've decided that I'm going to get super serious about this.  It's a pita to try to find colors when they aren't organized!  I didn't really mind until I started doing my nails every day though.  I'll also be ordering nail plates so I can have swatches of all my colors to look at.  I think that makes things so much easier.  Not enough polishes look the same in the bottle!  I've also put up my swap/wish lists.  I want to do some swapping with people!  I don't have many I want to get rid of, but I'd be happy to do some custom purchases for swaps (if I can find the stuff... this area sucks for polishes!). 

Anyway, today is one of the polishes I've wanted for AGES!  I saw the first swatch ever when it came out (I don't even remember when!) and HAD to have it!  I give you: OPI Ink!  

Ink is a dark, shimmery, flecky, duochrome-y beautiful purple.  It is opaque in three coats, possibly two if you use thick coats or are more careful than I am.  I didn't notice any running, and had pretty great control of it.  You can actually tell in the pictures since I didn't do clean-up on there.  There are only a few spots where the brush slipped because it's too wide.  I didn't have staining and it was easy to remove.  LOVE! 


Can almost catch the blue duochrome on a few of these nails...
This polish is actually a little bit more duochrome irl.  Yes, there is some there!  It goes from dark purple to dark blue.  I love it.  Everything about it.  I am so glad I finally picked it up!  What do you think?  That's all I've got for today. Thanks for looking!

  1. I LOVE this color, it's one of my favorite OPIs. Grape Set Match from the Serena Williams duos is like a lighter version of this, it's worth checking out if you like this color :) thanks for the swatches! :D

  2. This is such a gorgeous shade - looks good on you! And, yeah, when I first saw it in person, I thought the colour looked exactly like pen ink! Perfection!

  6. @Olivia C.DO IT! The bottle color is a TAD bit deceiving, but it is MUCH prettier on the nail irl!
