Beautiful Color, can't believe it seems to be so unpopular. On it's own it's a winter coral color (until I saw this polish I didn't know winter and coral could go together). It's typical OPI for chipping/tipwear. Under OPI Silver Shatter it looks like a beautiful piece of agate pulled from the ground, when you put it under glitter it turns into a peachy apricot color. very lovely addition to my collection.

I am sad that Amster-damsel In Distress scores so low. I really love this color. This is from the European Collection which is at least 10 years old. The color is caramel/orange shimmer with very fine micro-glitter. I do agree this color is quite pumpkin pie looking. This color been discontinued but if you want to find a similar color, I will suggest Chop-Sticking To My Story from the Hong Kong Collection which is creme formula.
The color is so gorgeous that it compliments my warm skin tone. The application is so easy and I do agree, you need 3 coats to bring out the opaque coverage. It dries quickly too and it's quite pretty because the shimmer doesn't make this color look flat. I really like it in autumn/winter as it warms up the whole feeling. But I tend to find this color is more to warm skin tone people.

bah, i say. i wanted to like this color - everyone seems to hate it on the boards - and it wasn't nearly as bad as it has been made out to be, but it's nothing great either. it needs 3 coats for real opacity and to look anything like it does in the bottle. the shimmer is more subtle than it should be. the color isn't terrible, but it isn't great either. it's definitely duller than it looks in the bottle. it's just a ho-hum polish that blends in - i suppose it might be great for people looking for a polish that passes under the radar and doesn't draw any attention - but i'm not that kind of girl! the application was great! no streaks and it went on very smoothly. i won't repurchase it when i run out, though.

This color isn't the greatest, but its certainly not the worst I've tried either. Its the color of pumpkin pie (a light pumpkin brown/orange) with very slight gold shimmer. You can see the shimmer in the bottle more than on the nails. My skintone is fair and this looks OK on me and I'll probably keep it, but I won't be repurchasing when I run out. The application was super-smooth though.

I know I'm in the minority, but I LOVE this polish! It is the perfect color to transition from summer to fall: a shimmery rose copper that looks fab against my warm PPP skin. I will be picking up a spare bottle as this is LE.

Well this was nice... but not anything to write home about. I slightly coral-brown with a bit of shimmer. It was great for my warm skintone. I used it on my toes, and I usually like a bit more visual interest down there. Maybe it would be good for fingers. I doubt I will reach for this often. I will probably use up the bottle, but I won't be repurchasing.
