OPI Diva of Geneva

Hey guys!

Did everyone have a good 3-day weekend?  I know I did!  Camping was really really REALLY cold at night, and I almost froze until my friend showed up and saved the day with warm sleeping bags in the middle of the night.  She was seriously a lifesaver.  The weather was pretty decent out during the day though, and the place we went was amazing!  There were a bunch of huge crazy rock formations everywhere and it was fun climbing all over them.  I was really cautious when it came to my nails though - I didn't want to break any of them!  They got a little dry because of the cold weather and the fact that we were in the desert, but it's nothing that some CND Solar Oil couldn't remedy.  But anyway, long story short, I had a really good weekend camping, and now I'm ready to start the week.

Now on to the nail polish.  Today the color I'm showing you is one of my old favorites, OPI Diva of Geneva.  It was released as part of OPI's Swiss collection in 2010.   Click on the link below to see more photos and my thoughts about this beauty!



Diva of Geneva is a gorgeous very red-toned purple shimmer.  Sometimes this looks pink, sometimes red, sometimes purple, and other times it's a mix of all three!  It looks like there's gold shimmer and possibly pink shimmer (although the gold with the red and purple base may just look pink).  I usually don't like berry/pinkish shades, but this one is different for some reason, and I love it!  It also applies nicely, and I love OPI's wide brush - it's perfect for my big nails.  I'm wearing two coats in the photos below, and you can see how the color changes depending on the lighting.  This polish is actually slightly more purple in real life than it is in the photos, but only slightly.

So what do you guys think of this shade? Have you tried it?
I hope you all had a great weekend, and thanks for reading!
