OPI "Affair In Times Square"

OPI's 11 year old polish "Affair In Times Square" from the Fall 2000 New York City collection is still relevant to our interests! these taupe brown-violet shades have been very popular the last few years. i found "Affair In Times Square" for sale in a nail salon near Fisherman's Wharf that i stopped into while running an unrelated errand. i knew of it because i always used to get it confused with "An Affair In Red Square".
at one point i owned China Glaze "Channelesque" but swapped it in favour of keeping OPI "Parlez-Vous OPI?". "Channelesque" was too muddy-/dirty-looking on my skin. welp, "Affair In Times Square" looks A LOT like "Channelesque", only perhaps a bit lighter...and requiring three coats. the formula was meh, a little runny with the classic black label stinkiness. i'm not keeping this polish, but i'm glad i was able to take this vintage for a ride.
