OPI San Tan-Tonio

Oh San Antone, SA, or like OPI has said, San Tan-Tonio, I love thee.  My dad was reared in San Antonio, and I lived there myself for half a year.  There is just so much that they have, and don't you dare forget the Alamo.  San Tan-Tonio is a tan (hah) brown creme that is almost like a super light caramel.  


I used a base coat of OPI Natural Nail, 2 coats of polish and a top of OPI Top Coat.

Here in the sun you can see how it's nice and opaque - creamy and smooth.  I was trying to think of dupes but China Glaze Classic Camel has a microglitter and is more yellow where Cheeky Monkey Camel Toe has more of a red brown to it.

This color is kind of dull in the shade - like a dusty pair of cowboy boots.

Indoors with the flash, you can see that it's definitely opaque and creamy.  Good color!  I think this would be a good office nude.

OPI is available at Professional Salons, including Beauty Brands, Beauty First, Chatters, Dillard’s, JCPenney, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret, and Ulta, for $8.50 ($10.95 CAN) suggested retail for each Nail Lacquer. Please visit their website for details [official website].  

Disclosure: The product[s] in this post was [were] provided to me by the company for consideration.  For more information, please read this post.
