It Comes In A Treatment

If you love this shade, there are options for you to expand upon it.

Nail Envy is OPI’s treatment of hydrolyzed wheat protein and calcium that comes in Samoan Sand {now discontinued but available on eBay}. 

This is a shade to enjoy for many reasons - creamy application, the evocative name, the relaxing neutral color. 

To enjoy it, lay around a bit in the sand nearest you and soak it in after you apply it. Allow Samoan Sand to give you the very excuse you needed to relax for a bit.
