Nail Polish of the Moment: InStyle Red by OPI

In honor of Valentine's Day, I'm wearing InStyle Red (exclusive to magazine subsribers) by OPI. I really love this polish. It's a true red and best of all, you can get away with one coat- perfect if you're in a hurry. It has a beautiful cream finish and I adore the way it looks against my fair skin. LOVE!

Nail Polish of the Moment: Quarter of a Cent-Cherry by OPI

Quarter of a Cent-Cherry by OPI
My 25th birthday is tomorrow & since I didn't want to spend it painting my nails, I gave myself a manicure this morning. I fittingly chose "Quarter of a Cent-Cherry" by OPI. It's a beautiful, deep, cherry red hue. It would also look great on Valentine's Day! I can't believe I'm going to be 25 tomorrow- scary! I'm starting to feel like an "adult". But I digress. This polish really impressed me. You can get away with one coat (great for on the go) but for a perfectly, opaque finish, I went with two. I definitely recommend this one! :)

Polish of the Moment: InStyle Red by OPI

(Not my hand or photograph)
When my InStyle magazine subscription ran up, my Mom generously gifted me with a year renewal. Part of the promotion included a free subscription for a friend and an OPI polish exclusive to the magazine. It was my kind of deal- a new year of one my favorite reads, a gift to a friend AND a new OPI polish! But it has been a couple months and I completely forgot about it!

InStyle Red arrived in the mail today (I was expecting a few other goodies so I was surprised to get it) and I'm very pleased. Believe it or not, I don't have any "true reds" from OPI. I would consider InStyle Red to be somewhat of a true red but it's more of a strawberry. Very chic and wearable!

I'm painting my nails black and yellow for the AFC Championship game this weekend (GO STEELERS!). Otherwise, I would have tested it on my nails but it looks great (especially for free)! I'll most likely wear this on Valentine's Day <3


If the promotion is still ongoing, I highly recommend getting your hands on this polish! InStyle is one of my favorite magazines and it's well worth the cost to subscribe!
