Another day in the Vintage Week challenge (I bet you know what it is by now ;)) and the theme is Favorite golden oldie. I was thinking on what to show and this might not be my favorite of all time but it's special since it was one of my first lemmings. It was in 2009 and it was in the beginning of my more serious hoarding. It was also one of my first OPI's ever.
To make it short, what I'm showing is OPI - Lincoln Park After Dark. As I said, it was in the beginning of my interest of nail polish and I don't think I'd come across with matte nail polish like this before. I remember I saw this at some nail blog and I liked what I saw. I thought it looked elegant with that smooth matte dark surface. Since I liked it so much, and my economy was good, I bought this and a huge bunch of other polishes online for the very first time (but not the last). ;) Another one I bought at the same time was
OPI - Man Of La Mancha..
As I said LPAD is a matte very dark purple polish. It also dries in seconds literally, ie. it's important to paint each nail fast, otherwise it will dry meanwhile you're painting. Especially since this one has the thin old brush.
As you see, it's also looks quite nice with top coat on and becomes super glossy. However I prefer it matte, I got several other almost black polishes,like
W7 - Black Cherry even though that one is more of a brown purple and LPAD is more truly purple.
I like this based on sentimental reasons, however I guess it didn't meet my then high expectations from the blog post. Also I started to know about more cool nail art by then so I guess my interest was split. ;P However, I thought this would be fun sharing with you. :)
