OPI Lost My Bikini in Molokini Swatches & Review

Although last, it’s certainly not least. OPI Lost My Bikini in Molokini is one of my favourites from the collection because it reminds me of when I first started seriously collecting nail polish back in 2008.

My first love was purple before it took a backseat to green.

With the weather warming up and spring just a few days away, it’s great to look at a fun colour – reminds me of spring!

OPI Lost My Bikini in Molokini Review

Colour

Lost My Bikini in Molokini by OPI reminds me of Grimace from McDonaldland. Do you remember it? When I was very little, McDonald’s had more characters than just the clown with red hair that you see today. (Grimace was purple and similar to this shade!)

This medium purple adds a fun punch to your fingertips, and especially since spring is coming up, I’m really looking forward to sporting brighter colours.

Finish

Lost My Bikini in Molokini by OPI has a simple creme finish, which allows the hue to shine without the need for bells or whistles.

Application & Formula

It went on smoothly, and I only felt the need to use two coats to get full opacity. It was easy to work with, and it’s the type of formula that OPI is known for.

Pros

• Beautiful purple
• Smooth, easy-to-paint-with formula
• Fully opaque in 2 coats

Cons

• Not the craziest colour (but not every nail polish has to be wild, right?)

Final Verdict: 8/10

Lost My Bikini in Molokini by OPI is a fun purple to wear. Don’t wait for spring to rock it – wear purples like this anytime when you want to sport a manicure with some punch!
