For Christmas this year I was lucky enough to receive several items from my wishlist. One such item was a Breakfast at Tiffany's OPI Nail Polish collection. There are several colors in the collection (all of which I plan to someday own), but I received one of the special gift sets -the Mini-4 Pack with "Got The Mean Reds," "Rich & Brazilian," "Apartment For Two," and "I Believe In Manicures." (Shoutout to my awesome Little for this purchase by the way!) Here, I am going to review this product for any curious minds who might want to try them out or buy them as a gift for someone else.
The colors themselves each stand out beautifully in their own way. Like it says on the box, "The perfect shades to make you stand out as a style icon!" We all know that Audrey Hepburn was and continues to be a huge style icon, and these colors based off of one of her most famous movies do that title justice.
As for their durability, like with most normal nail polishes you have to take care of your nails and prep them properly if you want the color to last. If you have done that, they stay quite well. I have tested all of the colors, and they all last about as well as most polishes I have tried. The shine never dulls, and the chipping is minimal. (Disclaimer: chipping only occurred because of my nervous habits of scratching and tapping my nails.) Now for my thoughts on each color individually.
Got The Mean Reds:
Red is always a classic: this shade in particular. It's not deep enough to make it sultry or bright enough to make it childish. In the movie, the "mean reds" are what Audrey's character, Holly, describes as that time when you're suddenly scared and don't know what for. That is when she takes off to Tiffany's to make herself feel better. This makes the description on the box fitting: "Everything will be all right... just put on some red!"
Rich & Brazilian
This is probably my favorite color out of this particular collection mainly because it surprised me so much. In the jar it just looks like your average, every day deep purple, but when you put it on it's almost electrifying. It has a faint shimmer to it that lightens up the darkness and catches your eye. In one word, it's enticing: like the rich and Brazilian man Holly almost marries in the movie.
Apartment For Two
This color currently rests on my fingers as I write this article. It's fun and playful with a classy shine to it. The description on the box says to "Make room for this cozy, romantic raspberry." That's exactly what this color invokes: romance. Holly's romance with her neighbor Paul Varjak was like this: warm and cozy with a playful edge.
I Believe In Manicures
This is easily tied as my favorite with "Rich & Brazilian." Tiffany blue is a classic color, and while they can't call it that, that's basically what it is. You just can't feel bad while looking at this color. It's bright and cheerful but classy and also somehow calming.
*Disclaimer* You have to put on at least two coats of any of the colors to make them not thin and streaky.
