I’m a sucker for bold nail colors, but sometimes it’s necessary to tone things down a bit. The new “New York City Ballet by OPI” collection features five sheer softshade colors and an additional sparkly lacquer. Hey, if you’re not a ballerina, this collection is also great to wear for a wedding, a job interview and strict dress code environments.

( (L to R) “Pirouette My Whistle”, “My Pointe Exactly”, “Don’t Touch My Tutu!” )

Here is what the collection looks like on me below. I applied 3 coats of polish so the colors wouldn’t look so sheer. The grey shade on my pinky (“My Pointe Exactly”) has the most pigment.

(L to R): Care to Danse?, You Callin’ Me A Lyre?, Barre My Soul, Don’t Touch My Tutu!, My Pointe Exactly
