Twinsie Tuesday - Inspired by a City

Welcome to another edition of Twinsie Tuesday!  Today's theme is inspired by a city.  I attempted two manicures with full nail art to represent LA and they both came out terribly.  So on to plan B!  I could randomly pick a polish from my OPI drawers and I'd have a 50:50 chance that I'd end up choosing a city themed polish, so that's exactly what I did.  So now I present to you OPI Midnight in Moscow!

Midnight in Moscow was from OPI's Russian collection released in Fall 2007 (I can't believe it's been almost 10 years!).  It's a vampy coal color based polish with molten deep red shimmer.  It has that glow from within look that I love.  I believe this one is still apart of OPI's core collection, so you should be able to find it easily in stores!

This is 2 coats.

Be sure to check out what the other Twinsies have come up with!
