OPI Ink Suede

It's been a while since I've pulled out an old polish and did a throwback Thursday post, so that's what I did today.

In 2009 OPI came out with the Suede collection that consisted of 6 suede versions of some core polishes.  I bought 4 of them and am now kicking myself for not getting Russian Navy, Lincoln Park After Dark or the later release Here Today Aragon Tomorrow.  Ebay prices are ridiculous!  It's so strange to see something go up in price that much even though it feels like it just came out yesterday.

Anyways, Ink is a dark blue that has a bit of purple and lots of silver shimmer. It is of course matte.  When I put this on, I realized how I'd forgotten how perfectly it applies.  It's slightly thick and goes on opaque in 1 coat and dries almost instantly.  Now I remember why I bought these.  They're perfect for when you're in a rush and don't really have time to wait for polish to dry.  A minute or two after putting it on, you're good to go!  Here's to hoping OPI re-releases these (I won't hold my breath though).

This is 1 coat.
