OPI Here Today, Aragon Tomorrow Suede

I actually have Independence Day nails to show you guys, but the weather is pretty suxxors so I can't take pictures. I think tomorrow's weather will be better, so I can put them up then. Or the day after. Because I am lazy in my soul. ;_;

In the meantime though, I have Here Today, Aragon Tomorrow Suede, from OPI's Suede Collection.

Here Today, Aragon Tomorrow Suede is a matte hunter green base with tons of silver shimmer.

Natural light, no flash.

And here it is with some topcoat:

In it's matte incarnation, HTAT Suede is actually not that great. The shade of green is pretty, but even with the shimmer, it's a little more flat (why did I first spell that "flatte"?) than the other shimmery mattes I have in my collection. But with topcoat...wow wow wow. HTAT Suede becomes this incredibly lush and sparkly green wonderland. I can't wait to do some Christmas nails with this. Because it looks so awesome with topcoat, HTAT Suede is not a puchase that I regret, but I probably will only wear it matte in a pinch. Which kind of sucks, because generally, you buy a matte to wear it...matte.
HTAT Suede's formula was also kind of disappointing. It was really thick and gloopy, and I had a hard time getting it smooth or even. But at least it didn't dry instantly, so there was some time to work with it a little bit.

And that's all from me today! Have a wonderful Sunday night! ^_^

Yay, that's good news!
But you know, I think many people do like it matte. Or at least other reviews that I've read said it looked fine matte. For whatever reason, I don't happen to agree. *weeps*

I agree it looks a bit flat but sometimes that what I'm up to wearing :) I think that Zoya's Veruschka is a lot better of a matte green.

lol, that's true, it does all depend on your mood.
And I don't have Veruschka, but I am inclined to agree...maybe next time Zoya has another good promo, I'll pick that one up.

Nothing wrong with being lazy in your soul. :)

I like it matte too. Usually I don't care to see mattes with a topcoat, but this is a beauty with a TC. And you totally have me wanting Christmas and it's the 4th of July.

lmao girl, I hope not because I'm lazy in my soul way way way too often.
And I feel the same way..generally, I leave my mattes matte, but this one looks too too good with topcoat.

And gewd gewd...maybe if enough of us want it, it will happen... ;)

I LOVE this! I've been wanting to get it for the sole purpose of putting top coat on it. So glad you posted pics!
