I haven’t done a nail post in a while, and this is a shade that I have been wearing loads over the last few weeks – San Tan-tonio by OPI. It has actually been out ages now, so I’m a little late to the party, but they still have it on HQHair HERE if you fancy grabbing some. I’m always at a loss to know what to write about when I’m writing about a nail varnish – so I’ll let the image below do the talking. (For the visually impaired, a short description: San Tan-tonio is a rich caramel nude.)

If you hate the usual wishy-washy nudes then you’ll love this. It’s grown-up and sophisticated, perfect with a tan and also very ‘late summer early autumn’ appropriate. It will go nicely with the russet and reddish-beige tones being introduced for AW11. It’s really opaque, so you can get by with one coat, but it looks amazing after two – really glossy and groomed. I finished off with OPI RapiDry Topcoat because I had to zoom off in a hurry, but it doesn’t take too long to dry on its own.

OPI San Tan-tonio is part of the Texas Collection and costs £10.50 from HQHair: http://tidd.ly/f41a9ecb
