From the OPI Australia collection: Bright, super-orange-toned red! Easy application and nice pigmentation, but for orange-toned reds my heart belongs to OPI Monsooner or Later.
Some people love browned olive green shades; others hate them. Regardless of which side of the spectrum you fall on, these colors are certainly unusual. RBL No More War was released as part of RBLs F...
I think this is my very favorite red creme. RBL Bangin and OPI Girls Just Want To Play are up there, but at the end of the day my tan skin makes me prefer my reds orange-toned.Super bright (maybe too...
