Okay guys here is another nail polish chat. I know, I know... I have an addiction. This one couldn't be farther away from Borrowed & Blue. OPI's You Don't Know Jacques is a dark taupe brown grey color... great description right! Its one of those muddy colors that were really popular a couple of years ago. Its one of OPI's better known colors, and with good reason.
You Don't Know Jacques is one of those colors that I think looks good on every skin tone. It is classy and chic on short nails and daring and bold on longer ones. I prefer short rounded nails for this polish as I think it gives a more put together look. The color is definitely work appropriate, but is unique enough to be eye catching.
It has a creme finish, although OPI has suede and matte versions of the colors as well. I needed to coats to achieve and even color, as it was a little bit patchy with just one coat. The formula is smooth but a little thick so it is easy to apply too much polish if you aren't careful, but besides that the application is effortless. I used the INM Out the Door top coat and had fully dry nails in about 15 minutes, which is quick for such a dark color.
Overall, I give this polish a 5 out of 5. It is a unique color, often compared to the likes of Chanel Particulaire and Essie's Mink Muffs (google for swatch comparisons, Chanel is lighter). The application is easy, the finish is beautiful, and let's just face it.. this is a gorgeous color!!
