OPI Mrs. O'Leary's BBQ

I've been hearing raves about Mrs. O'Leary's BBQ since I got into nail polish. I always had an interest in the color, but never got around to getting it until recently. I also really like the name, even though it gets picked on a lot.

I was born and raised in Texas, but to be honest I don't consider myself much of Texan. I don't have Texan pride. There is one thing about Texas I will always stand by, and that's that they have the absolute best BBQ. That is something I miss living in Florida, they just don't do their BBQ right! I could get into a discussion on what I think makes good BBQ, but this a nail polish blog...:P

Mrs. O'Leary's BBQ
 Mrs. O'Leary's BBQ is a deep plummy brownish-red creme.

This color is fabulous. A great classic dark creme. It dries super shiny. I love this sophisticated shade. I wouldn't call this an all-time favorite, but it's a definite color I'm glad to have in my collection. This looks great as a mani or a pedi.

Happy Thursday!

    How funny! I was born, raised, and live in Texas, and I'm one of the *very* few that can take or leave BBQ. It is the best here... but I'm not always in the mood for it.

    Great polish!

    Love it on you - it looks amazing.

    I'm from Texas originally too and now I'm in California... I can NOT find anyone here who knows how to BBQ, it is ridiculous!

    Everytime I go back to Texas, its like BBQ every day so I can get my fix! (I also LOVE William's fried chicken livers and can't find that here at all... hope they don't make a nail polish for that though. haha!)

    I know your love for BBQ. Can't believe you just found this but it is a match made for you, lol. I love this color myself (yes, I know, it's red, but still its so cool).

    Just as an FYI, this BBQ is Chicago-specific - this nail polish is from the Chicago collection; Mrs. O'Leary's cow kicked over the lantern that started the Great Chicago Fire. So it's a pretty morbid BBQ, haha!

    Absolut Law - Oh my god, I had no idea!! OPI usually picks such cheesy names, this time they actually have a really interesting one!

    That fire killed 300 people at least.

    Thanks for pointing that out, I seriously would have never known. haha!
