OPI Nail Lacquer Pamplona Purple Review, NOTD

OPI Nail Lacquer Pamplona Purple

Hello Ladies,

Trust you all had a great weekend? I decided to change my nail colours not once but twice over the weekend. So I thought of reviewing those colours for you all today. The colour I wore the first instance is the one that is going to be this particular review, it is OPI’s Pamplona Purple.

My Experience with OPI Nail Lacquer Pamplona Purple

The packaging of this eye-catching plum colour is the same as any OPI nail lacquer really, it comes in a glass bottle with a black brush. I personally really enjoy their packaging, despite it being like most nail polishes in the market, it stands out from the rest for some reason. I also am a huge fan of their brush applicator, because it sits really comfortably in my hand when I apply the nail polish. I particularly find applying on my right hand more difficult than my left, as do most people who are right handed. However with OPI’s and Essie’s brushes, it is more comfortable in my perspective.

This is a gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous purple shade nail lacquer, it is a deep sort of plum with red and slightly blue undertones. It has a slight sheen to it, which looks absolutely lovely. The colour varies moderately in different shades of light. It looks like a purple with blue undertones sometimes, while the others it looks like a plum with red undertones. The sad bit about this colour is that you are able to find almost similar dupes, like I already have an Essie nail paint of the same sort of colour and also one from Jessica, that looks absolutely identical on the hands after two coats.

The formula of this nail lacquer is cream based, but is slightly runny upon application and I had to be super careful while applying this because it would have bled into my cuticles otherwise (which it did sometimes 🙁 ). The great thing about it being runny is that it applies smoothly on the nails, without you having to refill the brush constantly. Also the brush holds the nail lacquer pretty well and glides easily on the nails. The nail colour comes on completely opaque with two coats, it would be slightly streaky with just one coat, so I would definitely suggest you ladies to apply 2. If you are a fan of nail polishes with shades of purple, this would be perfect for you all. Also I feel as though, it is such a pretty colour for fall, purples and deep plums,are great for incorporating into your fall outfits.

This nail lacquer also has a great staying power, previously whenever I have applied it, it lasts for 5 days without chipping. Nonetheless, I would still recommend to wear a base coat and top coat to maintain its sheen. OPI’s formulas are also relatively quick drying and so are great if you are on a run.

Would I repurchase OPI Nail Lacquer Pamplona Purple ?

I have this bottle since about a year now, not finished it off yet. So probably might be a miss for me. Also I have colour similar to it in my collection, so that is another reason for it not being a repurchase.
