Nail Lacquer You Don't Know Jacques!
$11.99
You Don't Know Jacques! is one of OPI's long-running neutrals, a dark brown creme with enough gray in it to read as taupe. OPI rates the lacquer for up to seven days with its base and top coat, and the wide brush is made to lay color down without streaks. It sits between an espresso and a milk chocolate, so it looks polished on short nails at the office as well as in fall. Like most creams this dark, it wants two thin coats for even color.
