OPI Do You Take Lei Away? (+ a comparison to essie Topless & Barefoot) (The Daily Varnish)

The east coast may be in the middle of Snowmageddon but all I can think about is spring nail polish.

Hawaii is OPI’s latest location minded collection for Spring 2015. As expected, many of the colors are bright and fun (and there’s one, Pineapples Have Peelings Too!, is quite unusual), but today I have the nude from the collection. I’ve (shockingly) been sort of in to nude polishes lately so Do You Take Lei Away caught my eye (plus the name is so damn clever).

Do You Take Lei Away? is a light beige creme that, on many people, would pass as a nude. The formula is fantastic. I used just two coats in my swatches.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the best polish for me. I prefer a pink nude (like essie Topless & Barefoot or nails inc. Bamboo White). I included a comparison below the jump just for comparison purposes. If you aren’t quite as pale and cool toned as me I would highly recommend Do You Take Lei Away?.

The OPI Hawaii collection is currently available at Ulta. Do You Take Lei Away? is also available on Amazon.

There are swatches under the jump.
