Manicure Monday: Live and Let Die

December 03, 2012

Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend - I spent it studying. Surprise, surprise... not. Just two more weeks til Christmas break and I absolutely cannot wait. I want to do absolutely nothing school related for three whole weeks :)

Up this week for Mani Monday I have yet another polish from OPI's Skyfall collection, and this one is gorgeous! Live and Let Die was the 8th Bond movie ever released.. definitely before my time. I kind of have this desire to sit down and watch all the Bond films as a marathon, just so that I feel like I have an idea of what I'm taking about while I'm writing about the Skyfall collection. Perhaps I'll add that to my list of things to do this coming break!

Live and Let Die is a dark smoky blue-green polish packed with green and gold shimmer. The base colour itself reminds me of those really deep green Christmas trees, making it sit perfectly in this holiday collection. It really gets your attention in the sunlight so I had to snap a couple shots under the sun to show you all that it's got! The shimmer in it makes the wear time phenomenal - I had up to six days without chips! - and it is surprisingly easy to remove. This shade is definitely unique to my collection and I know I'll be wearing it again soon :)
