Instant Makeover: OPI’s Polish Studio

I’m generally not one to wear nail polish, which makes it extra-fun when I do—for special occasions or when I just want to add a little something different to my day. Like wearing lipstick, adding a few coats of nail polish (or a color you don’t usually wear) can really seem transformational.
The other day I came across this cool online tool by OPI for trying out new colors. Want to know how purples, brights, or metallics would look on your skin tone so you don’t regret it later? Click here, then on the “Try On This Color” tab. Set your skin tone, adjust the nail length, and have fun testing out shades like “We’ll Always Have Paris,” “Tasmanian Devil Made Me Do It,” and “Blue My Mind.” (Who gets to name these polishes? I’m really enjoying them.)
After spending the past 10 minutes trying out some new colors, I’m now psyched for a mani/pedi — thinking I’ll go for “Yes…I Can-Can,” a fun purply-brownish-black.
