SEPHORA by OPI Leaf Him at the Altar

Leaf Him at the Altar, four coats, no flash

Nothing says SPRING like fresh new leaves on the trees and plants. That's why I am so excited to show you this green polish from the Sephora by OPI Spring 2010 collection!!! I've mentioned it a few times on the blog already (see the preview picture and the day I first discovered this polish).

Sephora by OPI Leaf Him at the Altar is described on Sephora.com as a "metallic vine green". It is definitely a vine or leaf green, but it's not a true metallic polish. In my opinion, that is a good thing! Most metallics have very visible brushstrokes and are kind of hard to work with. Leaf Him at the Altar has the metallic feel without the PIA application. There is so much silver shimmer in this polish, it's unbelievable!! Sometimes I can see flashes of gold shimmer as well. Looking at it up close, it really reminds me of a leaf. The shimmer looks like the pores (I don't think that's the correct term for a leaf LOL) on the leaf's surface. I know the first picture is slightly blurry, but it's color accurate and look at that shimmer!!!

Application was fantastic. Three coats was perfectly opaque for daily wear, I did a fourth coat for the camera. The drying time was excellent and the polish just flowed perfectly onto the nail. I took one picture with flash to really emphasize how much shimmer is in this polish.

Lastly, a picture in very low light. You can see that, even in low light, the shimmer is still visible and this is such a gorgeous color!

Overall, this polish makes it onto my top ten favorites list. I have been staring at it since I put it on. The formula was perfect, I wouldn't change a thing. This is one reason why I'm developing an addiction to Sephora by OPI polishes. They have all the perfection of OPI's formula (we all know OPI has the best formula around), but the colors tend to be more creative than what OPI normally releases. Plus, how can you not have a good chuckle at this name? Love it!!! I will be rocking Leaf Him at the Altar all spring and summer long!!! This one is a MUST MUST have!!
