Key Notes

OPI Look at My Bow! Review

Colour

As we move closer to Valentine’s Day, pink nail polishes will be having their turn in the spotlight. And even though I’m not the biggest pink fan, I can appreciate an adorable one when I see it.

Look at My Bow! by OPI is a blue-based bubblegum pink that no doubt will appeal to nail enthusiasts of all ages.

Like an amped up My Little Pony or the colour of Gwen Stefani’s hair from her No Doubt days, this Hello Kitty nail polish graces your nails with a sweet touch!

Finish

Clean and simple, Look at My Bow! by OPI has a creme finish. No glitter. No shimmer. No special effects. It’s straight to the point, which makes it great for nail art. Additionally, it’s easy to remove.

Application & Formula

To get the coverage you see in my photos, I used two coats and didn’t feel the need for three. However, if you wanted completely solid coverage, you may want to try three. (Two medium coats cover well, too.)

It applied easily and flowed onto my nails without any trouble.

I appreciated how the formula is glossy and doesn’t look chalky.

Pros

  • Cute blue-based pink
  • Simple & practical creme finish
  • 2-3 coats for great opacity
  • Glossy & doesn’t look chalky
  • Cute Hello-Kitty-printed wrapped on the handle

Cons

  • Pink isn’t the most original colour (but it’s a great staple in any collection)

Final Verdict: 7/10

OPI Look at My Bow! from the Hello Kitty Collection is super cute, just like the cartoon feline I adore. The pink pops, is glossy, and comes with fun, limited-edition packaging, all of which a Hello Kitty fan and nail enthusiast would enjoy.

Do you have a collection of Hello Kitty toys, stickers, bags, etc.? Will you be wearing more pink nail polishes around Valentine’s Day? Who is your favourite Sanrio character?

      Hey Nailtastic!

      For me, cool-toned pinks can be hit or miss against my skin tone. But, the trick I’ve personally used to find one that flatters me is to make sure it contrasts (i.e. Lighter, more vibrant, or darker than my skin tone). I was pleasantly surprised that so far, out of the pinks I’ve reviewed in-depth from this collection have suited me. (Usually I find more pinks that clash on me.)

    Such a pretty color and Hello Kitty is so cute! This color is purrfect for Valentine’s Day (sorry I couldn’t resist). BTW, I’m curious, how does it compare to Zoya’s Shelby and Eden? It looks like it could be a dupe for one or the other of them. Thanks for sharing. As always it looks great on you! 🙂

      Hey Melissa!

      In my opinion, OPI Look at My Bow! is lighter and brighter than Zoya Eden (which is a few shades darker). Zoya Shelby, I feel is closer to Look at My Bow! because it’s also more of a bubblegum pink.

    I picked this and 4 other polishes up and I don’t even like pink polishes! I’m excited to wear these, especially Starry Eyed for Dear Daniel.
