OPI - Call Me Gwen-Ever

HI Goddesses




What the holy crap is this colour on my nails??  and why the hell am I liking it ??  




Elizabeth Stern, I blame you.  Before I met you, I would never have worn this colour, and now I am wearing it and ooooh gosh, OMG I love it!  (And thank you Chelsea, for sending it to me, mwah xx)



In my polish universe, I have several aversions, a lot of which (matte, blue, green) have been eroded over the last year.  The last holy bastion was my pure and utter hatred of coral and all things corally ... but ooooh would you look at how pretty this is?



This isn't actually 100% coral (phew) as there's no pink undertones, but this is nevertheless a disturbance in the force.  Call Me Gwen-ever is a gorgeous dark peach, a burnt orange with a ickle blob of cream in it and it's just about PERFECT for summer.




There's also something very retro about this polish.  It brings to mind the 1930s for me - there's a very old fashioned glamour going on.



So, wow, whaddya know.  Bloody hell, I'll be wearing yellow next ... no, please, no ... don't make me go there .... nooooooooooooooo.



PS really sorry about the cuticles, I've been a-creaming and a-rubbing, honest!



Enjoy xx :)

  1. This colour look really pretty on you but for me this just doesn't have the 'wow' factor. Maybe if i see this polish in RL i will think differently. However it's great to see some swatches of it

  2. lol. you should totally try a yellow out. I mean if you went for a retro looking orange, yellow may not be far behind! =)

  4. I keep thinking with my minimum buy in force due to lack of space and need to sell all my dupes untouched - that I need this shade. It's good you called it retro - it is retro back to the 80's shade of coral that was super popular then. I have had a really hard time finding corals in the past 10 yrs - they have been so out of fashion yet they look great on anyone who is an Autumn skin tone.
