OPI Suzi loves Sydney

Today I have a special polish, well, special for me anyway.
When I was ordering Vodka&Caviar after hunting it down for quite some time, I saw the seller had a few other OPI polishes for sale (it was a private seller). She didn't have any pictures of the polishes, but as soon as I saw this name, I felt all nostalgic and just had to have it! I didn't care what color it was, I wanted it just for its name.

When I was 18 I went to Australia for a year and backpacked around the country, like so many young people do. It was a once in a lifetime experience and I still consider that year as the year I grew up and really got to know myself. I loved it and feel a special connection to Australia.

So of course OPI Suzi loves Sydney had to be in my stash! When the package arrived, I was extremely happy to see this color. It's a deep maroon red with a gorgeous subtle shimmer. A perfect color for me!

It applied perfectly smooth, dried fast and was opaque in 2 thin coats. I am over the moon with this polish. Every time I wear this on my nails, I'm instantly transported back to such a happy moment in my life. But even if you don't have a connection to Australia or Sydney, this is a gorgeous color.

This polish was part of the 2007 Australia collection and it's now longer available in store, but you can get it on eBay or Amazon. I would definitely recommend checking it out if you love vampy colors, because it's stunning.

I can't be the only one who has bought a polish just for its name, because it reminds you of a special place, occassion or person and I would love to hear what polish you bought for this reason!
