I finally found the OPI Mariah Carey Collection and while I did love most of them, Anti-Bleak was the stand out for me. I know I did not have a purple-y purple like this in my collection and coincidentally I have been looking for a purple. I still want a more grape-y purple cream, but OPI Anti-Bleak is pretty and gorgeous and satisfying my purple craving…for now. See comparisons belwo – sorry for the crappy iPhone photo, the colours are not quite as blue/bright as they appear.

Typical lovely OPI application- I am wearing 2 coats, with Lippmann Hard Rock base coat and Addicted to Speed top coat. A couple fingers look like they could have used 3 coats but that is only upon close examination. I think if I had been more scrupulous in my application 2 coats would be just fine. I just love the wide OPI brush, really makes application a dream.
