A few days ago I found out I get to go to a wedding this weekend. I LOVE these events, so I gave great consideration to what would be on my nails. (More consideration, in fact, than to what I'll actually be wearing.) At first I thought I'd go with Chanel Morning Rose, but when it came time to paint my nails yesterday, I decided I was in the mood for something with a little more complexity. Chanel Paradoxal and RBL Insouciant were considered, but I ended up deciding on OPI The Color To Watch from the Fall '10 Swiss collection. I fell in love with this shade after choising it for an outsourced pedicure. It looks fabulous on toes! Not wanting to miss out on this shade, I caved and bought a bottle from ULTA.
The Color To Watch is a beautiful sophisticated lavender/blue shimmer. It's not quite a duochrome, but both hues are definitely present. It falls somewhere inbetween RBL Insouciant and Sally Hansen Virtual Violet. Insouciant has a more strong lavender base and Virtual Violet has a stronger blue flash. For this manicure I used three coats of The Color To Watch and one coat of CND Air Dry. The top coat really helps give TCTW a glossy finish. TCTW has a thin formula so I experienced minor cuticle drag. Aside from that, application is pretty good.

This polish is officially on my list of all-time favorites. It is also my permanent go-to pedicure. Happy Sunday, I will take lots of wedding pictures to share with you!
