Some OPI Shades I'm Not Too Fond Of!

Last month I mentioned that I was gifted a dozen OPI black label shades from my hair salon, and I'm working through swatching the rest of them. These are my 3 least favorite from the group. Not that I hate them, I just don't think they look right with my skin tone.

Above: Chocolate Shake-Speare is from the Fall 2003 British Collection and it does indeed remind me of a chocolate shake. It's a little lighter in color than that, and is more of a malted chocolate shade.
Below: Down to My Last Penny is just too bright and orange for me. It's a copper shimmer, but leans too much toward the orange side. This one is from the 2003 Las Vegas Collection.

Below: Burning Love, from the 2005 All Shook Up Collection, is a sheer orange shade that covered surprisingly well in 2 coats.

These colors are just not my favorites, but it's always fun to add polishes to collections from OPI for me. I'm sure I never would have bought these shades, but I do have some others from each of these collections, so it's nice to fill in some gaps and get closer to having a complete set. Chocolate Shake-Speare is my favorite of these 3 and something I would probably wear--the shade just seems a little off to me against my skin tone. Burning Love is one that I think would look nicer if I had a bit of a tan, but I personally think Down to My Last Penny is just too bright and not a pretty shade to begin with. I love copper shades, but not this one!
