OPI - Dulce de Leche

When I was looking for a nude-color nail polish, I found OPI Dulce de Leche. I have to say it is really a tricky color. It looks pretty on bottle but it does not show up the same on very skin colors. 
For fair skin to medium, it turns up a really lovely warm-pinky color.It matches up the skin so well, just like a nude color. However, under sun light, it changes to a light rosy pink color. Really strange but still pretty.
For tanned skin or darker skin, I think it may not be very surprising because the color has a hint of "mauve" and not easy to go with. Fortunately it matches my skin color quite well =)
It actually contains few extremely tiny shimmer inside, which is really tiny that you cannot notice if you dont look at it very very carefully. 
The formula is great and easy for application. Even it is watery, you only need two coats to achieve the color and three coats show up as a entire solid, opaque color.

Let see the swatch =) It pretty nears the real color.



I used Nail Tek II intensive therapy as base coat and no top coat.
In the swatch, it tells two layers of Dulce de Leche already having great pigmentation and it turn up to a lovely, soft pinky nude with a hint of mauve. A lady color.

Compared to opi tickle my france-y, Dulce de Leche has a warm tone and not as "brown" or "taupe".
