This is an off the cuff post as I painted my nails a few hours ago using OPI You Don't Know Jacques on a whim, looked down at the final result and was so happy with the shade that I felt the need to share the results with you all.
OPI You Don't Know Jacques is not a shade I would normally pick up when out shopping yet I am smitten, so much so that I have put it on my list of polishes to pick up at a discounted price when in the states.
OPI You Don't Know Jacques is a deep taupe of any other name but somehow the combination of brown and lilac tones result in a really special shade that I shouldn't like but utterly adore.
I'm well aware that shades of the OPI You Don't Know Jacques type are normally reserved for the cooler months of Autumn but there is something so lady like and chic about this shade that I can not resist and rate it as a great alternative to nude as it pretty much goes with everything.
If like myself you enjoy shades in the same vain as You Don't Know Jacques but don't fancy shelling out the best part of £10 on one bottle of polish Barry M do a few shades similar such as Dusky Mauve and Mushroom. For now I'll be using my mini bottle of sparingly and whittling down the days until I can run amok in the likes of Ulta.

Random Fact - Your nails are likely to grow faster on your dominant hand.
This is such a pretty shade, it's so hard to tell what varnishes will look like out of the bottle but this has worked so well :)

ReplyDeleteThis shade is lovely. Not a spring/summer colour. But one I would definitely wear in autumn winter!

I don't normally like darker colours, but I'm really into deep taupes at the minute, not Springy at all, but I like it!

I have this shade too, I adore it!
ReplyDeleteThis is a cult favourite amongst the bloggers, I've yet to try it. I have a remarkably low number of OPI!
ReplyDeleteI love this shade, very similar to Chanel Particuliere!
