I quite like it. Sophisticated with a hint of goth. Just my style.

this reminds me of a bowl of purple olives! not the pitch black ones, but the ones that together, create a multidue of brown, burgundy, purple and off-black. this is exactly this colour, just with beautiful, slightly muted shimmer.
the colour is completed by a subtle silvery sheen that gives it a hint of metallic, and rainbowy green flecks which give a bit of a duochrome.
2 coats went on like a dream, and very opaque and pigmented. but in my opinion, 3 coats is needed to make the colour perform its best. wearability is great, only that it was a tiny bit harder to remove.
this is a really pretty colour!

Have you seen my Limo is one of the more unique shades in my stash, and one that's exceptionally hard to describe. It's a duochrome with a main color of deep purple ... but the "duochrome" element of this seems to shift depending on the lighting. Sometimes it flashes teal, other times it flashes a dark lilac, other times it looks more brownish eggplant kind of shade. Totally unique and absolutely gorgeous! I love it for the individuality of it ... I have nothing even remotely the same shade wise ... this is one complex polish!

I really love this one, it's plummy purple with heavy shimmer, I just wish the green duochrome that is visible in the bottle would appear more on the nail. It is visible just not as much.
The application, drying and staying power are all excellent. Mine stayed on perfect for 5 days WITHOUT top coat.
I love the color, and since this is now HTF a very similar color is China Glaze Bogie, minus the green duochrome. Would buy again if I run out -not likely to happen.

I love all OPI's nail polishes, in fact I'm going on about 100 bottles, yikes! Anyhoo, this is by far one of my favorites. I consider this a staple for my wardrobe, I'm a little vampy-chic so this goes beautifully with almost all of my clothes and makeup. I'd almost consider it a neutral (but not) because it goes with everything and has a dimension of many colors. Its best described as a dark eggplant duocrhome with hints of olive greens and greys. An exceptionally interesting color that I love all year around!

This is my 2nd place OPI polish. First is Black Tie Optional, both are duochromes, and I love them! Which is very strange, 99% of the polishes I own are creme. I got this as a duo with OPI Stars in my eyes from a seller I return to often on ebay, HYSML was $9 on its own, but the pair was $10. I have to say, both were an excellent choice, and I'm thinking I'm going to try to find some more from this collection.
HYSML is a purpley-grey-green color, which shines with a red-orange duochrome in the right light. Love at first sight. Since I am out of black tie optional, this will have to do for now, and I am not missing my favorite polish as much anymore!

I love this polish. My polish looks like a sparkly plum/grey-blue in the sun and a deeper purple otherwise. It has a pretty duochrome sheen that I love, giving me a little vAriety from my normal glitter sparkle. I wish I had bought more when it was available but if I can find it anywhere I will

I love this color. It's unique, and it's different from anything that I own. The color is hard to describe, It is brown-plum-green duochrome. This suits my skin color well. My only complaint is that it doesn't appear to be as prismatic as it does in the bottle. Still, it has a unique duochrome shimmer, and that's enough to make me happy.

My HG nail polish!! It's a very sexy greyish to black in the evening and when captured on camera. In day light it's a metallic plumish/purple color!!

When I first saw this nail polish in the bottle I really didn't like it, it looked like an almost greyish purple with green shimmer. However, I LOVE it on my nails. It changes from purple to green in the light depending on the angle you look at it from. Reminds me of the "Metamorphosis" nail polishes that Nicole came out with a long time ago. However, it chips alot on my nails like all OPI polishes.

I love this color much more than I thought I would. I am warm-toned. On me, it shows as a dark, blackened purple with a bit of a greenish gray flash. Sort of looks like dark blackish-purple chrome is the best way I can describe it. I like that it's not bright or glitzy; it's subtle and elegant.

This one is interesting. It seems like a typical deep purple shimmer, but then when you put it on, the green shimmer is revealed. It's not intense, garish or even that obvious, but it just creates a bit of depth that you wouldn't have expected from it. Formula was okay, and I personally like the wide brush. This one is definitely a keeper, especially if you are a vampy girl.

Love it. Beautiful eggplant duochrome with a slight and very interesting and classy greenish tint. Gorgeous. i really have nothing else like this and I have about 60 OPI, China Glaze and Essie colors. I really love this. I do NOT love the pro-wide brush or the new formulation of OPI but because this is such a nice and unique color I will put up. :)

Well, this is a cool color! A blackish-purple with a teal sheen and silver shimmer is a lot to pack in a polish, but its awesome. If you like this polish, listen to me. Go NOW and get it because I've already seen places putting it off the shelves into the getting rid of it bin. This color is waaaaay too cool to miss out on, and is a lot of fun. (If you're nervous, try it on your toes)
I gave it a 4 on packageing because mine came with a bent bristle which is extremely annoying and gets polish everywhere.

This is a great metallic alternative to the trendy navy blues and eggplants. (Not that there's anything wrong with those, I love them too!) But if you're looking for the same idea, but with a little more pizazz, try to get your hands on Have You Seen My Limo!! It was only around at Christmastime, but they may have a few on e-bay. I LOVE it! Am I the only person who's bummed to see all the horrible pastels and Easter-egg colors for spring?? I'm a dark-nail trend gal through and through...who's with me??

I was surprised that the ratings for this color weren't higher. My friends and I LOVE this particular shade-- it's a really pretty, unique, muted shimmery purplish silver shade. I like this as an alternative to black or blue.

Have you seen my limo? from OPI is an amazing shade which is often described as "indescribable", a unique shade. After trying it today I'm bound to agree on that! This limo is a shapeshifter; from wine red to a blackened cool lilac with silver shimmer to a warm purpley color with green shimmer. Yes, green shimmer! Have you seen my Limo? is part of the 2007 Holiday in Hollywood collection, you can get it at Head2toebeauty.com. I love it!


Pictured below is three coats (two would have been sufficient, really) with China Glaze Fast Forward on top. I'm not too keen on the pro-wide brush though!

I'm usually not one for purple polish, but I'm making the exception for Have You Seen My Limo? I'm not the best at describing colour, but to my eyes this looks like a frosty (but not in a bad way), metallic-y, shimmery deep purple. There is shimmer, but I can't tell if it's green, gold or a rosy colour. My first aplication went on sort of streaky and sheer, but the second coat turned it into a beautiful dark, shimmery plum. The formula on this polish was a tad on the thick side, but that didn't interfere with the application. I've had the polish on for one day and have tip wear, but that could be because of my late night application. I know this is a shade I won't repurchase, but will definitely put it in regular rotation with the rest of my collection.

I was so excited about this polish when I first got it but sadly it turned out to be a let down. Looks gorgeous in the bottle - deep dark shimmery blueish purple that has fine green, gold, and bronze microshimmer. On my nails it looks muddy, dull and boring :( It has a weird muddy dirty finish to it against my skintone, doesn't quite pop against or enhance my nails like other dark polishes. And the application was somewhat frustrating, thicker formula than usual and I am not a fan of the prowide brush. For me, a thick formula and big ass brush equals sloppier application, especially around the base of my nails. The big brush works best with OPI's older formula but I lack the precision and skill to use it with the new formula. The color isn't that great and I got chips and tipwear within 2 days. This one is passable.


For reference I'm Chanel Beige, Stila 30 watts, and GA LSF 5.5 in skintone. I used OPI Start to Finish as a BC and OPI TC with this mani.

When I received this polish in the mail, my initial thought was "Wow, this is awesome!"...until I put it on. This polish is so thick!! I got a brand new bottle, and already had to add a few drops of Seche Restore to thin it out a little. When I painted my nails, the first coat was streaky and sort of a wierd "muddy" purple. I kept going and painted a 2nd coat, which was a lot better, but still not really what I expected. This seems like a deep, dark version of Misa Embroidered Emerald/Maybelline Vanishing Venus/Revlon Mesmerized, with a bit of muddy brown thrown in. I'm not loving this.
