This little bottle of OPI doesn’t have a name but I’m pretty sure after some sleuthing that it’s Virgoals from the Big Zodiac Energy collection? Can’t decide if I like it or not. On the one hand it’s very sheer (this is 3 coats), reminds me of my grandmas shimmery coral polishes from the 80s, and I’m not sure the color suits me. On the other hand it’s pretty and I really love the subtle green shimmers that really pop in bright light! Next time I’ll use as topper or at least a base coat that hides the VNL.
