OPI My Berry Janes

Press Sample

I'm at the finale of my gifted set from the Fall 2025 OPI "What's Your Mani-tude?" collection. This is My Berry Janes, purple shimmer. It took me two times to understand this was a play on Mary Jane shoes... I never wore them in the 90s so I just didn't get it at first.

OPI Track Suited Cutie

Press Sample

I'm moving into the shimmers from OPI's "What's Your Mani-tude?" collection. This is Track Suited Cutie, a taupe with golden shimmer. I know that OPI called it a shimmery mauve but to me, this reminds me of the taupe that had a chokehold on so many of us about a decade ago.

Zoya Octavia

Press Sample
I'm in the last 3 polishes from the Zoya Muse Fall 2025 collection and today I have a beautiful purple jewel toned pearl shimmer. I was a little surprised by this polish because there was some hidden pink sparkle.

Zoya Emery

Press Sample
Today's polish is special to me because it's my name! Okay, so it's my married last name, but still. I'm surprised how many people think it's my first name. Today I have Zoya Emery, from the Fall 2025 Muse collection. This is a "velvet metallic spun from black espresso and antique gold." I feel that it's a bit more violet based brown but spot on with the gold. Let's get into it.
