It actually smells like Sharpie to me! Permanent marker. They don't have a nail polish smell like I was expecting. The one odd thing I noticed about these is that they smell WEIRD. I did two coats of all, except for Pearl of Wisdom which is three. A little on the thin side, but pretty standard for OPI. Again, pretty unique, I can't think of another dusty blue quite like this. Dusty blue! I know it looks really bright in my pictures, but it has a definite soft and faded look to it. I want to say this is a little on the warm side because it has a slight orange undertone. It's bright and happy and kinda retro looking. I'm not really drawn to medium reds or dark reds in creme or shimmer, but I love reds like this. See how all the colors come out? You can see the green and pink and purple but you can also see the little flecks of shimmer scattered on the nail too. (This color might actually be a re-release, I'll have to see if I have the original) Looks nice alone, but it's AMAZING over black. The main color is pink, but it also flashes green, purple and a little silver and gold. It's an iridescent/duochrome sheer shimmer shade, very cool looking. Looks springy to me, like the flowers that grow on my neighbor's tree in spring. It's also dense but not as stark as some other similar 'mod' type white-pinks. It has a little bit of lilac to it, it's not straight pink. Not matches, though, just slightly similar. Reminds me slightly of Queen of West Web-erly from last spring. Has a few little flecks of foil mixed in. Very complex finish- it's not straight shimmer and not straight frost. Shimmery warm red-purple with a little gold frost. Little bit like Essie Neo-Whimisical from the spring collection too. It's a little softer and not as stark looking as, say, Mod About You. It says lavender, but it's more pink to me than lavender. The sun really does weird things to these violet-pinks! Anyway, this one is a pale pastel violet-pink. Not so dusty that it looks grey, but it is more 'faded' than 'fresh' looking. I don't have anything else in my collection quite like it. Somehow I forgot to take an indoor picture of this! I'll add one when I add Bling Dynasty. Not totally unique but I like this version because it's cooler and goes better with my skin tone. It's really not what I'd call plum, maybe plum blossom instead? It's a purple-berry kinda magenta creme. The sunlight kinda warps and washes out this color.
