Happy challenge day ladies! I can’t believe it’s already time for the letter K! For this I chose the polish that I’ve had the longest and has the most emotional value to me out of everything in my stash. Yet another OPI classic, Kinky In Helsinki. I got this early 2003 when my back then boyfriend now a husband came to Finland for the first time. His friend had suggested he buys me this polish cos it’s an awesome color and the name of course, Helsinki being the capital of Finland. So this gorgeous polish found it’s way to me all the way from Houston, Texas over 10 years ago. This is the polish that started my collection and I will never get rid of it. I don’t care if it dries in the bottle, it’ll still be sitting there on it’s place cos it means something to me :) Though I have to say that after these 10 years have passed it’s still going strong!
Kinky In Helsinki is a deep fuchsia/magenta shimmer with a subtle blue-pink flash. This was originally released in the European Collection 2002 (this is the collection my bottle is from). It got re-released with other popular OPI shades on the 2009 Colorcopia collection. I think you can still find this at least on eBay.
