OPI DS Royal

OPI DS Royal

You may remember this one from my NYE haul.

After taking the following picture, most of you
were dying to see it on my nails:


I have just one word for you all:

underwhelmed.


Dictionary.com defines underwhelmed as;

To fail to interest or astonish:
To fail to excite, stimulate, or impress.

That is totally what this polish did for me.

In full sunlight:

Graduated; pinky-1 coat, ring-2 coats,
middle-3 coats, index-3 coats matte

In the light of my bathroom, 3 coats:


Indoors and blurry to show the sparkle, 3 coats:


Trying to show off the blue side:



In the shade:


I was really disappointed in this color. It wasn't at all what I expected.
Most of the time, it looked like the fuchsia you see in the indoor shots.

I am NOT a fuchsia girl. Ever.

I was expecting more purple and blue, not what you see above.

Anybody wanna trade me for a new bottle of Zoya Ki?

This was only used for the above swatching.
I literally took it off within minutes and had my nails
repainted with a much better OPI DS, Original.

I'm really serious about the trade. Email me if you're interested.

Pin It!

I so wish I had Zoya Ki to trade...I have been wanting the DS Royal forever! I have Zoya Juno that I bought from the salon and swatched 1 time, so it is almost new. If you are interested in that I could send you that and maybe pay you for the Royal as well...just a thought! I can e-mail you my address if you are interested.

Hi. :) That's a damn shame. I agree. It looked SO promising in the bottle! I was seriously lemming it but, after seeing this, I think I'll pass. Thank you for posting this.

That just doesn't look like the other DS shades, does it? I still think it's pretty, but understand why it's not one of your faves.

Hope someone comes thru w/ a Ki for you!

I was one of the ones who was dying to see what this looked like outside the bottle. I died and went to heaven just looking at the bottle. I'm a little disappointed that it isn't as pretty but I do still really like it. Wish I had the polish to trade you for it!

That is gorgeous! I wish I had seen this back in January. :o(
I have a back-up of Zoya's Ki. Darn.
