![]() It’s a polish I’m sure I’m going to get a lot of use from, but I think in terms of a true navy shade, it doesn’t outbeat my favourite from Barry M (which I’ve never reviewed!), but I love that purple fleck that features in this. OPI Russian Collection (from ) Nail Polish Nails Super Excited Beauty Collection Remember Enamels St. I like OPI Russian Navy a lot – but I don’t think it’s my favourite Navy, I wish this was just a shade lighter, upclose as above this polish is stunning, from a distance It’s just that smidge too dark, and has me feeling reminiscent of being a teenager and applying my eyeshadow nicely and then adding way too much black in the crease – close up it would look fine, but from a distance it looked too dark. The polish has a reflective, light catching ability which means you can also sacrifice a topcoat for ‘yeah I’m super late’ days whilst I do prefer to wear one. It dries relatively quickly, but like all OPI’s it’s nothing staggeringly impressive a normal 1-2 minutes before a topcoat can be applied. The formula of this polish is absolutely dreamy to apply, it’s a one coat wonder and applies completely opaque, I often find myself still doing a second – just out of habit, but if you’re the kind of person who is always doing your nails in a rush then this is a great option to have to hand to save you a coat or two of drying time. Ink has much more of a sparkly appearance compared to Russian Navy, whilst up close shots and close inspection reveal that Russian Navy isn’t a totally flat Navy shade, from a distance it looks very dark, almost edging towards passing as a black. Whilst they are similar they are definitely not the same. I was interested how they would compare in person. From looking at pictures Russian Navy has always reminded me of Ink, It’s not a pure navy, instead harbouring a deep purple sparkle that stops it from looking really flat. OPI Ink I fondly name as my all time favourite polish as my collection has grown over the past 2 or 3 years it doesn’t get as much use, whilst I still love it I don’t reach for it nearly as often. Navy polishes are always ones which I opt for at this time of year, I love layering them with some holographic silver glitter on the ends that looks like snow falling.
