As a kid, I loved to collect shiny, new pennies because their rich orange/rust shine enchanted me. I've always wanted to find a nail polish that captured that same fascination I felt as a child and I found it in Down to My Last Penny. Never before was I able to find a nail color that looked exactly, EXACTLY like penny fresh from the mint. This makes a great end-of-summer color for tan/olive/bronze skin tones. Perfection!

This is a rich copper color. I do like it but find that I only use it in the fall. It's interesting that my daughter who loves orange nail polish colors does not care for it. I will probably repurchase this in the future if I ever use it all, but since I use it so little, maybe not.

Down To My Last Penny is a very bronzy, coppery color. I will put it in the red family but has very strong orange base. The metallic finish is stunning and I think it's too loud for the nails but it will be perfect for pedicure. The application is excellent and I only put 2 coats and I have a complete coverage. The finish is very smooth too.
The color compliments my skintone very well but I guess if my skin tone is darker, it will be even better. Although I give it a 4, I will not repurchase this color again as this color is somehow outdated.

I found Down to My Last Penny on clearance at Ulta for 99 cents. To my surprise, I really like it. It is a metallic reddish copper color with a definite orange tone. It sets off my milky pale skin nicely -- Down to My Last Penny is bright but not too bright. My husband told me that he thought the color was gorgeous which is good enough for me. Kind-of goes with my coppery reddish hair I suppose...

Even though OPI just raised their prices, I will STILL buy it. This is a frost or rather a mettalicy bronze/copper color. It is a bit too much for my nails, but makes a great toe nail polish. It is from their Las Vegas collection.

Red in the brown family. I really like it, I like warm reds towards the end of summer/early fall...

An awesome metallic burnt orange. I would describe it as kind of an amber chrome color. Looks red in some lights. Very distinctive

The color goes wonderfully with my red hair and pale skin. The consistency is wonderful and goes on smooth. However, just after a day (and often the same day) it starts peeling and chipping, which is really annoying.
The only thing I really like about this product is the shimmery color. I'll keep trying it, though, and hopefully I'll find a base/top coat to help keep it longer. :-)
***UPDATE*** I'm not so much an OPI virgin anymore, and have figured out what base and top coats work for me. I use Creative Nail Design's Sticky base coat which really holds the color to my nail for days.
The only reason I gave this color 4 lipsticks instead of 5 is that I found an even better color - Hungary For My Honey. It's not quite so dark and bold. The two colors actually look good together - last penny on the bottom and hungary honey on top.
