OPI "Diva Of Geneva"
What It Is
A deep magenta shimmer. My favorite thing about this polish is how it reflects light. The edges of my nails are very dark, while the centers seem to glow. This is a perfect shade for Fall. Part of OPI's (Fall/Winter 2010) Swiss collection!Application
"Diva of Geneva" took only 2 coats to become fully opaque. I remembered to wrap my tips early so it didn't need an extra layer! :) Another thing to note: This polish applies darker than it appears in the bottle, which looks kind of light & dusty.
If you are thinking this is a dupe for OPI "Queen of West Web-erly", it's not. They are very similar but "Diva of Geneva"s color is much more saturated. |
I have this too! and it's one of my favorites!!! just love it!!
ReplyDeleteDanny- "Queen of West Web-erly" used to be one of my favorites... this takes its place, for sure! I can't believe I waited so long to try it (I've had it since it first came out). Looks so much better on the nails than in the bottle!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this one!! I find the "lighter in the bottle" thing with a lot of OPIs. If I could wear this one for every other mani, I'd be good with it. LOL
ReplyDeleteThis polish is gorgeousness!
ReplyDeleteIdk why I haven't worn it yet...
So pretty! I have no clue why I skipped this one.
ReplyDeleteI have this and absolutely love it. It really is much better on the nail than in the bottle.
ReplyDeleteMegan- Yah me too! Great color, huh! So bold! I love it :)
ReplyDeleteSarah B- That's what I'm thinking! I've just now worn it! And I've had it for, what, a couple months now??
Lola- It is! You still have time to get it! Before it's too late!
Anita- Yah, I'm definitely going to have to start actually wearing this one... Today is the first day and I love it!!
:) Ohhh I love this color.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous color! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThe prettiest from the Swiss collection. =) Looks wonderful on you.
ReplyDeleteIm sorry this may be a dumb question but you said something about "I remembered to wrap my tips early so it didn't need an extra layer!"... what does this mean. Im confused and any help is appreciated :)sorry again :/
ReplyDeleteooo0o0ooo sooo pretty. i must get this one next time i go to the store. i kept looking at it and picking it up and putting it down when i was there and i though it was 'meh', but your pictures and description are making me want this. its looks so much better on the nail than in the bottle.
ReplyDeletethis is absolutely gorgeous! it's so rich and luxurious looking! i need to buy it, haha.
ReplyDeleteNow i want it xD
ReplyDeleteJanellarella- I paint the very edge of my nails ("wrap the tips") so I get better wear with my nail polish. Here is a better explanation: http://www.alllacqueredup.com/2010/06/manicure-trick-wrap-tips.html
ReplyDeleteHope that helps!! :)... Usually I forget to do it so I have to add another layer of polish even though my manicure would have been perfect otherwise!
This was one of my favorite from the Swiss collection! My mother stole it from me haha
ReplyDeleteOh my, it looks great on you ! Congrats.
ReplyDeleteI loved it on the bottle so I bought it but once on my nais I was all the more dispointed that I had great expectations for it, it fell flat.
I'm so jealous, lol.
xoxo.
I felt in love! But I don't like OPIs, cause of their formula. I have three, and just one of them is good and it's from the designers series. I think about trying another OPI, but I'm still not sure, but after your spot I'm quite sure what I'm going to buy :D
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteHey, just a question... Will the challenges be coming back? I loved them!
ReplyDeletewow, not only is this polish a pretty color, but your nails look they're in PERFECT condition. But, then again .. they always look so perfect that I might just accuse you of photoshopping them. ;) j/k
ReplyDeleteLinda- As of now, I don't see myself hosting the challenges anytime soon. They are so much work and I barely have time to post regularly :(
ReplyDeleteKellie- LOL. I don't Photoshop (I love how that is used as a verb) my nails. Skin, yes... but that's obvious. Little cracks and wrinkles are distracting! :) There you go. My secret is out! :)
Thank you for your answer! :) Never mind, I still love your blog, keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteI bought this polish recently as was inspired by this post, and I am not disappointed, a lovely colour and superior polish, so thank you, and my love of polish continues, unabated. Do you get Nails Inc and Barry M polishes in your part of the world? They are quite good too! bx
ReplyDeleteBlighty- :) Yes, this is a great polish!... I've never seen any Nails Inc or Barry polishes around here. Maybe I just have not been in the right places? Thanks for commenting!
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing your post I knew I hade to have this polish! I couldn't find it at any nail salons so I ordered it online. This will be my first OPI polish, I'm so excited because this color is giving me a nailgasm, lol.
