Ugly colours, anyone?

Hi everyone! If you're a fan of 'ugly' colours, you'll love the nail polish I'm about to show you. I was in the mood for a more 'out there' mani the other day and so I decided to pull out OPI Uh-oh roll down the window to try on. In the photos below, I applied two coats. I'm not one for ugly shades like this but I actually quite liked this polish. It applied well onto my nails and the formula was pretty good - I had no issues with it.

Unfortunately, this mani didn't last long as I decided to try some fail-art on it. Being a fail, I took it off immediately and slapped on another polish :P Oh well. I enjoyed it while it lasted.

Anyone else like ugly shades like this one?

Thanks for dropping by!

    Haha, not everyone's cup of tea. I think I'm picky with them too, I don't like the truly ugly shades :P

    I´m not a fan of ugly shades. I would use it only with some nail art.

    I'm not sure what you think is ugly about this colour. Very few colours are ugly in and of themselves, honestly. But I actually have two shirts almost exactly that colour and everyone comments how green they make my eyes look. ^_^ Of course, I'm a nail art fanatic, so I would definitely put something on top of it, but that colour would look perfectly normal on me by itself. :)

    I'm a fan of "ugly" colors because I have learned ugly in the bottle can = pretty on the hand.  Unfortunately, it  took me a while to learn the reverse (have I learned yet?) that pretty in the bottle doesn't always = pretty on my hand/skin tone.

    Haha, that's what I normally do with polishes I don't like so much. Oh-so useful! :D

    I think it comes down to personal preference. There definitely are colours I would classify as 'ugly' in that they're not very appealing to my eyes. Just like there are things we think are ugly or disgusting in other areas of life and other things cute and pretty :)

    That being said, this one was a surprise and I ended up quite liking it! <3

    Oh, that's sooooooo true! Some polishes have been such disappointments, especially when they looked so gorgeous in the bottle.

    I don't think it's really ugly. It's just a color we don't see everyday, but that makes it unique. And I think it looks very nice on you. I see it as kind of a neutral, but that's just me ;)

    I love "ugly pretty" colours! This is one of my absolute favourite polishes! As soon as I saw this when it first came out, I knew I'd love it! The more weird the colour, the more I love it. haha Plus I wear olive green a bit, especially in the winter.

    I quite like khaki nails - they make me feel badass! Especially paired with some butt-kicking boots :)

    I adore ugly colors. I usually fall madly in love with them in the store and have them purchased and home before I think, "But how is armadillo gray going to look on me?" haha But I absolutely adore them. And I admit to coveting that green of yours. ;)
