OPI’s Merryberry Mauve

There were apparently two Merryberry Mauves in the Victorian Holiday collection: this one, and a glitter. I like this one far better!! (And I haven't been able to find the glitter anywhere, so I guess it's synchronicity at work again. What everyone else snapped up I had little interest in, and vice versa.) This takes several coats to reach full opacity, but it makes a lovely layering polish over darker cremes. Two coats isn't quite enough to hide any VNL, but I get a nice softer manicure with a little bit of extra effect.
