Clean , hydrating with subtle scents. None of the scents are loud and overwhelming. You can get these in unscented too. The only one I have never liked is the apricot … I dont know why šŸ˜†The vanilla anything is my favorite.

Love this color! It’s been my all time favorite for painting my toes and now my fingers for thirty plus years!!! It’s the perfect dark red. OPI doesn’t chip and lasts forever! I wash my hands a lot and I do all my dishes by hand so it’s tough.
