Nails I Love
OPI DS Ruby
Hey Goddesses
So, there may be a
bit of a Red Holo Theme about to descend upon you! This is my latest Holy Grail (now that I have
found The Perfect Taupe) and I have 4 to test to see if they meet my fussy
standards!
I didn’t realise
that OPI DID a red holo, but my favourite eBayer Janet, at http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Boulder-Creek-Boutique?_trksid=p4340.l2563 found
DS Ruby for me.
In the bottle, RUBY
is beautiful, but she’s certainly not a ruby red. She has the pinky-red tone of so many red
holos, but I hoped that on the nail she’d liven up a bit and I used 3 good
coats. For extra fun, I put a base coat
of black on 1 nail, to see if that would turn her crimson. Er, no, it just looks a MESS!
On the nail, Ruby
stays pinky red. It’s not an impressive
shade – it’s a bit too bright and brassy for my liking. All would have been forgiven though if she’d done
what she said on the bottle and dazzled me with her holographic goodness … but
even that is AWOL. Yes there’s holo
there, but only about a fifth of what you’d find in DS Original.
So I find myself
EXTREMELY disappointed. It was the
polish I was most excited about trying from my epic nail mail L I
should have known when I couldn’t open the bottle – I’m always a sucker for
omens, and this one just wouldn’t budge.
Thankfully after some hot water, she did but, well, it stayed downhill
from there.
Summary – if you’re
looking for a fab pinky red with a bit of holo, then this is definitely for
you. If you’re still searching for the
perfect red holo, move on ….
I’ll be back with
some more red holos soon – 2 from Glitter Gal and a franken I did.
Enjoy J

Top Tip – if you’re
ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give
you plenty of contrasts and compares.
