We interrupt the Holiday nail polish line up for another Fall polish. Technically, OPI always releases Fall\/winter collections, so I am basically not interrupting anything. However, it still feels a bit weird. I’ve complained about not being able to find My Italian is a little rusty before. Amazon doesn’t sell OPI over here in the Netherlands, and in the store OPI is sold, this shade was constantly sold out. Especially when there was a sale going on. You cannot imagine the happy dance I did when I was finally able to buy it (with a little discount). This all explains why the review of My Italian is a little rusty is later than the other polishes from the OPI Fall 2020 collection (I even already moved on to the Holiday 2020 collection!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with Leonardo’s model color<\/a>, I think My Italian is a little rusty is the star of OPI’s Fall 2020 collection. I was a little bit in doubt whether to add it to my collection or not, I already own Essie Playing Koi<\/a> (click for an old review), which I heard was similar to My Italian is a little rusty (read further for a comparison). Amazon gives My Italian is a little rusty as an alternative for Essie playing koi! Of course, in the end I knew I needed to have My Italian is a little rusty in my collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would consider My Italian is a little rusty a burnt orange creme. However, I personally find that in real life it leans a bit towards brown for a burnt orange. My camera really picks up the orange in this polish, but I have to mention that it is not entirely accurate. “Rusty” might indeed be a better description. The polish applied very nice and was opaque in two coats. I do want to mention that with my skintone, it made my hands look a bit pale. I still very much liked it, but I’ve also seen this shade on ladies with a darker skintone, and it looks so good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comparison of Essie Playing koi, OPI My Italian is a little rusty and Essie yes I canyon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I definitely was not a huge lover of burnt oranges in the past. I’ve found Essie Yes I canyon in September in Tk maxx, which is basically the moment when I started to like these shades of orange. When Essie Playing Koi<\/a> was released in 2016, I knew I immediately needed to pick that shade up. But other than that, I was never interested in orange nail polish for fall. I don’t own any of the other burnt orange shades that were released in the (recent) past. I think it is clear from the picture that Yes I canyon is the most orange shade. My italian is a little rusty and Playing koi are both darker and indeed quite similar. However, playing koi is more red toned and My Italian is a little rusty is more brown toned. I would also describe the structure of Playing koi more like a jelly\/crelly (meaning that it’s sheerer, but very shiney). It is really hard to pick a favorite, but I think in the end, playing koi definitely matches better with my complexion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking for a burnt orange shade, but My Italian is a little rusty is not what you’re looking for. You might want to check out OPI Have your panettone and eat it too<\/a> (affiliate link) which is more orange. You also might want to check out Essie Expressie bolt and be bold<\/a> (affiliate link), which is also really pretty. Essie calls it a yellow-red.. but wait.. isn’t that.. orange? Also OPI released similar, but not the same, types of burnt oranges in the past, like Suzi needs a Loch Smith<\/a> (from the Fall 2019 collection, affiliate link) and Yank my doodle<\/a> (from the Fall 2016 collection, affiliate link).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, this shade is kind of unique. But it also depends for a large part on your collection, and on your own personal taste whether it is worth picking up! I’m definitely glad I was able to get my hands on it in the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
