OPI La Boheme - Revisited

Good morning girls! I had an amazing find over the weekend, a bottle of OPI La Boheme! My heart literally started to race and I started to panic as I went through boxes of nail polish, checking to see if I could find additional bottles. I have a bottle of La Boheme in which I found on a dusty hunt a few months back, but as I have read there are two versions. The bottle I found on Saturday was the second version, and the better one (IMO). A high duochrome radiated through the bottle, even in dim lighting. I asked the shop owners if they had anymore, and they looked at me as if I was crazy. I didn't want to tip them off in regards to how amazing of a find this was (they have told me 'no' to polishes before - and they are a supply store) so I kept my composure.

I got home and compared the bottles. The shimmery red is the same, but the color shift on my newer bottle is definitely more noticeable. In the bottle, you see a golden/rusty change and some green. I couldn't see the green on my nails, but am eventually going to try layering it over black, which I have read helps.
Formula was easy to work with, but since this is from 2003 it's not 3-free. The photos below show 2 coats of La Boheme and a coat of Seche Vite.

Without further ado, I share some greatness:






I'm in love......hands.down.best.red.ever.

    1. Dusty hunt!! I've found a few other nail salons that have it, but they wouldn't sell it to me. Maybe you will have more luck :)
