So, the first of the four colours I chose to go with was Red Zin, a beautiful luscious claret colour, just perfect for the season. The colour applied really well, and although I loved the berry shade it gave me from just one coat, it needed the two coats to achieve the deep wine colour that you see in the bottle.

This is a classic colour from 2009’s Bright Pair collection from OPI from when the whole taupe nails phenomena when crazy.
