I fancied something relatively work-safe but interesting today, so went for Stranger Tides.
I've seen this described as greige on various American blogs but I would say it's more green-grey than anything. It's not like any other polish I've ever seen.
The picture makes it look much greener than it is in real life, there's a lot more grey it in.
I found the formula quite tricky to work with. Apparently all OPI shades post-Texas collection are now 4-Free and this is the first I've tried. Maybe it's because I have the mini collection, I found it rather streaky and it tended to drag on the nail. This is base coat, 3 coats and top coat and I'm still not totally happy. It's opaque, but still has brush strokes. Also, the smell was absolutely awful! The worst polish smell I've experienced for a long time.
Despite my formula concerns, I really do like the colour: it's not like anything else in my collection. I think it's a great colour for a pirate-themed line too; very murky! I'm planning to add silver shatter later in the week and I shall be interested to see how they combine.
