Monday Blues: OPI I Have A Herring Problem

Hello lovelies! Monday again and time for some blue. I won't go on about how sorry I am that the weekend is over because you already know that. Instead I will just complain about the weather considering it's so depressing that it doesn't make me want to come out of bed today. To go with the season I have a greyish type of blue that is part of a spring collection but is great for this time of the year too.

IHAHP is a slate blue packed with silver shimmer. It's a bit more grey than it shows up in my pictures but it's definitely blue. I had to choose between this one and I Don't Give A Rotterdam and that one was a true grey. The shimmer in this one is so pretty and dense! There are not many polishes that have a shimmer like this in them.

The problem with this polish is the questionable formula it has. I understand that Zoya has a dupe with a better formula, but I don't have access to that brand so I'll just have to settle for this one. It's thin, sheer and applies streaky so it needs 3 coats to look good. That is pretty unusual for a shimmer polish but given that it dries very fast and it's such a gorgeous color, I'll accept it.

I wore this color the first day of school and it was actually my Instagram followers who helped me choose it. I also asked them if I should photograph it since my nails were so short and a lot of them said I should so here I am. I really enjoyed this polish on my nails and will probably wear it again this season.
