The bottle itself looks like this, very simple and clean. You also get a fairly large amount of product which is good, however is a necessity due to the excessive pricing of this.
And here we have two swatches of the polish itself. On the left you can see that the colour makes for nice Instagram photos (important information for any nail varnish you're potentially buying) and looks very vintage and classy as the plain classic red manicure. On the right I've taken a picture holding a Coke can to get an idea of the red that the polish is as they match exactly.
Now for the performance of the polish - overall brilliant. Very easy to apply, nice formula. Took roughly 3 coats to be opaque as mine are very thin in terms of application. The formula was quite thin but without being runny so it was very smooth and easy to apply. It also managed to not cause any kind of air bubbles after the 3 coats and without a clear top coat so I was very impressed by this. The drying times were also fairly quick and I didn't have any issue with them. Finally the main thing I was impressed with was chip resistance - all the images above were taken between 1-2 weeks after application and my nail polish hadn't budged an inch. It neared 3 weeks before I took it off due to boredom and still at that point there was no chipping!
This polish is amazing and would definitely be one of my favourites in almost all aspects except for pricing. I will not be buying this for myself again though as unfortunately OPI are not a cruelty free brand due to their parent company being Coty (a big name in animal tested cosmetics, owns brands such as Rimmel that are renowned for testing). OPI do not directly test on animals as a brand, however their profits go and fund Coty who do when it's completely unnecessary so despite how great I feel that this varnish is my money will be going towards quality cruelty free brands' varnishes such as ELF or Barry M in the future (and both are vegan)!
