OPI Lincoln Park After Dark and OPI Over the Taupe

I got both of these for Christmas and I absolutely love both of them - I don't know why it's taken me so long to try Lincoln Park After Dark in particular!  Basically, my nail collection consists of purple, black, red, pink, grey, taupe and a couple of random metallics and some oranges so both of these ticked the colour box for me.

OPI Lincoln Park After Dark
This is a really glossy, dark purple, so dark it actually looks black most of the time but every now and again in certain lights a little bit of purple will flash through.  I love it, especially when my nails are a bit shorter.  I think it would be nice to layer it too, maybe with a purple glitter or flakie?  As ever, I found the OPI brush really easy to use and longevity was ok.  If you like dark colours, you'll like this.

OPI Over the Taupe
This is a pretty standard taupe - not too orange and not too grey - which, to be honest, is why I like it.  I wear quite a lot of taupes for work or when I'm wearing an outfit that already has a lot of colour in so I'm happy to add another one to my collection, as they are all ever so slightly different.  As above, I liked the brush and it lasted ok.  I'd recommend this if you're a taupe lover or if you don't really have any in your collection and want a decent first one.
