New nails: OPI Tomorrow Never Dies and Essie Thigh High

I've often admired OPI from afar but never purchased, feeling 12euro was too expensive for a nail polish.

However, being a Bond fan (my favourites are Timothy Dalton and Daniel Craig) the Skyfall collection caught my eye. The polishes are all named after Bond movies which is a nice touch.

Originally Skyfall and Casino Royale were my picks but in shop they just weren't for me.

I chose Tomorrow Never Dies, a deep purple with blue and red microshimmer.

It was so difficult to capture this on camera and the light wasn't on my side either, but honestly it's a case of what you see in the bottle is what you get on the nails. I don't think this polish is anything special in terms of shade but it's one I really like and that wore surprisingly well on me (3 chip free days).

The second nail product is Essie's Thigh High.
This is my perfect winter colour, a burgundy with red shimmer. Hinting at the festive season while remaining classy, well that's what I like to think!
It was opaque in one coat but I applied a second one for good measure.  It was 5 euro (! Essie polishes are usually 12euro) from a local hair and beauty shop. Doesn't everyone love a bargain? I'm also amused by the name :)

I'm usually drawn to deeper colours in winter and I think these are perfect.

What are you wearing on your nails? Any recommendations? :)
