My Latest Mani: OPI Meet Me on the Star Ferry

Purple nail polish is as essential to my lifestyle as breathing. Maybe that's overly dramatic ... but, in this beauty chick's line of work, it's the God's honest truth. So when I came across OPI Meet Me on the Star Ferry -- part of the Hong Kong Collection from Spring 2010, I was hooked.

This color is EVERYTHING -- a gorgeous blend of lavender, mauve and taupe that's just packed to the brim with shimmery goodness. (The shimmer comes out looking silvery, but actually contains a mix of gold, pink, green and purple pigments.) It glides onto the nail evenly and gorgeously, leaving behind no streak marks whatsoever.

I absolutely LOVE this color. And while I've got about 200 nail polishes left to try, this one will definitely be making a return appearance.
