I was going through the crazy pile of unposted swatches and was thinking to myself 'how come I've already shown you all my OPIs?', since I simply didn't remember having any prepared for posting. And then I opened my OPI folder and saw I have a bunch of them! Let's start with this Suede beauty. Russian Navy. I really like it.
You all know the Suedes of O.P.I., I'm sure. It's from their Suede Collection for Fall 2009, where they turned their old shades into suede finish. Quite unsuccessfully, IMHO, since none really resemble the glossy originals, but Suedes are still lovely! I'd love to have a couple more, like You Don't Know Jacques! and Lincoln Park After Dark.
The application of Russian Navy Suede is a bit tricky. You have to be fast and careful with it. Nothing major though. I think the final effect is worth it. I actually prefer it Suede, I don't like it as much with a TC over it. Go figure. Naturally, suedes chip faster, just as mattes do. I don't really care about that, since in average I change my mani every other day or even every day, depends on my mood and they do last that long.
What do you think of Suedes, are you a fan? Do you have any? Or do you prefer the mattes?
Thank you for reading!
I love OPI Suedes. I have this one & We'll Always Have Paris.
ReplyDeleteI have this one and I really love it! I love both varies: matte and glossy. Its so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI have one of the suedes and I'd love to have them all. I loev the texture and the finish of these so much.
ReplyDeleteI have LPAD and WAHP, but I'd love if this one would join them! It's a beauty :) And it's pretty with TC, but I prefer suede finish as well.
ReplyDeleteSince this week I am the proud owner of all Suedes <3. I love them all, especially when I am in a hurry or something. I am currently wearing Russian Navy suede and layered CND Sapphire sparkle on top, very pretty combo!
ReplyDeletePreeeeeeeeelep! Meni je tale Suede kolekcija res TOP! ♥
ReplyDeleteit looks so beautiful on you!
ReplyDeletemeni je tudi vsec ta kolekcija ampak nimam nobenega... :(
ReplyDeleteuf ovo je nesto sto bi rado imala u kolekciji, super mi izgleda i kad je suede i sa top coatom
ReplyDeleteOooooo ful je lep ) Tudi jaz nimam nobenega :(
ReplyDeleteThis is on my wish list!
ReplyDeleteThis is my favourite OPI ever!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous but I'm a bit sad when I see it... I ordered it last year but there was a mistake with the order and the seller sent me the "normal" version and not the Suede. :(
ReplyDeleteI love it even with top coat! *_*
fantastičan je, i meni se više sviđa suede nego sa tc-em preko :-D
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I see so many Suede fans. I remember when they got out people weren't too crazy about the application and formula, but I love it still. :) I wouldn't mind having more either!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comments! *muah*
I just bought the regular Russian Navy. It looks so much more purple than the suede version, but I can't wait to wear it.
ReplyDeleteyou've got super pretty nails!
ReplyDeleteAnd OPI Suede are really cool polishes! I don't have this one but I think I should have it on my WL!
Pre-le-po! Od suedkov bi imela seveda tega tvojega, Suzi Skis In The Pyrenees in You Don't Know Jacques.
ReplyDeleteRussian Navy looks super stylish, I love it although I don't have any of OPI suedes..
