OPI Never a Dulles Moment from the Washington DC Collection is the kind of yellow that would make a canary shake its tail feathers while cocking its head to one side to look thoughtful!

Many people shy away from wearing yellow on their nails for fear of looking like they’ve been struck with a severe case of jaundice, but I urge everyone to try it a few times. Once you find the one with the right undertone, it’ll add that boost of ‘cheer’ that turns your half-empty glass into one that’s half-full.

OPI Never a Dulles Moment Review

Colour

Never a Dulles Moment by OPI is a fresh yellow that isn’t too bright or orange-based, so it will flatter a wide range of skin tones.

It’s not quite as vibrant as a canary yellow, but it still lends a pop of colour that can create a statement. This is especially interesting if you pair it with subdued neutrals.

Finish

The creme finish is elegant and doesn’t add unnecessary bells or whistles to a nail polish that’s already more jovial than a banana doing the twist!

Application & Formula

Application was pain-free, which is a rarity when it comes to yellow nail polishes. If you’ve dared to enter this territory, you know that yellows can sometimes be a nightmare. However, Never a Dulles Moment by OPI applied smoothly, and it can easily be built up to achieve full opacity in three coats.

Upon removal, I didn’t see any staining, which let me breathe a sigh of relief.

Ingredients

As with all current OPI nail polishes, this one doesn’t contain Formaldehyde, Toluene, or DBP.

Pros Pretty yellow that’s not too bright or too orange (this means it will flatter a wider range of skin tones) Smooth, creamy formula Requires 3 coats for full coverage No Formaldehyde, Toluene, or DBP

Cons Yellows can be tricky to sport (but if you find the right one, it will make you want to try them all out!)

Final Verdict: 8/10

Although OPI Never a Dulles Moment isn’t the best yellow that I’ve ever tried, the formula is pretty good, and it only needs three coats to get full coverage.

If you’ve have trouble landing a clean yellow that pops, you may want to try this one!

What’s the best yellow nail polish that you’ve ever worn, or do you tend not to sport yellow nails?
