OPI - I'm Not Really A Waitress

So I picked this up on a whim.  An in-mall salon was having an OPI sale around Christmas, so I said, "Why the hell not?" After all, how much of an OPI fan can I really be, if I haven't tried their famous best-selling shade of all time?!





I thought this polish looked a little dull in the bottle, but it's at least a shade lighter on the nail.  It is a very deep looking red shimmer.  Almost frost, but not in that gaudy 90's way.  It definitely has dimension.  I got lost during a chemistry lecture today, just admiring my nails.  I can't believe it only took two thin coats!  I can see why this polish is so popular.  I was hoping it didn't look dated, as I'm not really into old school shimmer reds.  And it definitely doesn't look dated in my opinion.  It has a vampy vixen feel to it. 

I'm pretty rough on my nails and generally any polish shows a tiny bit of wear at the tips after one day - even when I wrap them.  But after one long day of punishment, this polish isn't showing any wear at all!  I used one coat of OPI Chip Skip, one thin coat of OPI Natural Base Coat, two thin coats of I'm Not Really A Waitress, and a generous coat of Out The Door to top it off.
