O.P.I Thanks a Windmillion

After having bare nails this weekend (my nails are thanking me for it), I have decided to put on some O.P.I from my haul that I received from Fragrance Direct a couple of months ago. They are still selling O.P.I for £3.99 each which is such a steal that in my recent order I popped one in my basket that I had desired for ages (Nothing Mousie 'Bout It).

Anyway, the shade I decided to wear today was 'Thanks a Windmillion'. This is from the Holland collection released in Spring last year. I had seen this colour before in swatches and absolutely fell in love with it. Not willing to pay full price though I nearly spent over the odds bidding on this shade on Ebay. Fortunately, I lost the bid and picked this up much cheaper :)

'Thanks a Windmillion' is certainly an unusual colour. It is a creme dark teal-green colour. In my opinion, I do not think this shade is everyone's cup of tea. It is not the most feminine of colours and is not really a versatile colour if one likes their nails to compliment their outfit. I see this colour as more of an Autumn shade that could also be worn in the Spring too.


O.P.I Thanks a Windmillion

Although this takes three thin coats of polish to make this opaque, it is surprisingly thin on the nail. It does not seem to apply gloopy and is very fast drying between coats. As with most O.P.I I have tried, this does not chip easily with tip wear appearing after four to five days.

Do you like this shade? Do you disagree that it's not versatile?
