This was one of the first polishes I ever reviewed, back on the 9th April 2009! So, nearly three years on, I wanted to revisit this, as I only had really crappy photos of it (ie it was originally reviewed in the days before I 
discovered macro…the horrors!) , and so when I was looking for a final OPI creme to wear during the QuickDrying Topcoat Comparison post, I knew that this one needed to come out and play again.
Suzi Says Da! is from the Russian Collection – one of my favourite OPI collections of all time. It is a very close cousin to that Chanel classic Rouge Noir, although somewhat browner than red.
It’s described by many as a “chocolate” shade. If that’s the case, then it’s a really dark, dark
chocolate with a very high cocoa content, as this is a so-brown-its almost-black polish.
It doesn’t shimmer, and is very work appropriate (if they let you get away with funky colours, thankfully mine does). This is soooo vampy and classic.
Bearing in mind that I’ve had this bottle for nearly two years, and the fact that I also lent it to a friend of mine for nine months or so (it is her go-to pedicure colour), it still applied really well. Perhaps the brush didnt pick up as much product as I’d like but that’s probably because this is a well loved and well-used bottle by now.
I urge you to use a good topcoat with a vampy creme like this. It doesn’t leave you much margin for error, as you can see here. These photos were taken at the time of my topcoat comparison post, and I don’t think this topcoat fared particularly well.
In terms of the shade though, it has certainly stood the test of time. Fantastic application even after a long time, and a deep colour that I don’t think is ever going to go out of fashion. Once again confirming to me that the Russian Collection is the best thing that OPI have ever come out with. Da!
*by the way, I wrote this post about a year ago and it has taken that long to make its way to the top of the scheduled posts pile. Hence why my nails look so long, and kind of icky*

[…] of application as Nubar’s Swiss Chocolate, but it really is. It’s also replaced OPIs Suzi Says Da as my favourite brown creme. IX applies like a dream and looks amazing. This is two coats and it […]
Nothing unique but it looks great on any length nail!
That’s a wonderful shade of delicious looking chocolate. Your nails don’t look icky! Took you a year to put this up? Wow.
