OPI Italian Love Affair

I have so many nail polishes and many are pink but this one from OPI has to be one of my favorites, if not my favorite.  Italian Love Affair was originally released in Spring 2001 as a part of the Italian collection.  I didn't purchase it then but rather a couple of years ago.  From the moment I put it on, I fell in love.  This is great for manicures and pedicures..it's so easy on the eye.  The best way I can describe this color is as a light cotton candy pink with a white pearl / iridescent finish. OPI's website (www.opi.com) describes this color as a romantic and pearly pale pink.  Here are some swatches (excuse the lack of clean up):

Outdoor / Natural lighting without flash

Can you see why I love this color so much? It has the most beautiful finish when you see it in person!

The formula of this nail polish (at least the one I own) is a little thicker than most and is very opaque with one coat although there was a tad bit of streakiness so I applied two coats as I normally do with all my nail polish applications. 

It's safe to say that I am very glad this color is a part of my nail polish collection.  What do you think about this color? Do you have a favorite nail polish you would recommend?

Availability:  This is a permanent color and is available anywhere OPI is sold such as, but not limited to: Ulta and Trade Secret. 

Price:  The average price for an OPI nail polish is $8.50 in my area (price may vary according to salons, stores or location).

Thanks for spending time with me today!
