When I posted swatches of OPI’s My Pointe Exactly (from this spring) someone mentioned in comments that it reminded them of Moon Over Mumbai, which I just happened to have from years ago, before I was very interested in fingernail polish.  I pulled it out and like it way better than I remembered!

I remember having lots of problems with Moon Over Mumbai, and always finding it to be too streaky.  However, I think that the problem was more my application skills than anything.  When I pulled it out of my drawer and tried it out now, I found that I didn’t have any problems at all.  I guess I’ve had more practice with fingernail polish since I bought it.  I had to use three coats (slightly gentle), but it went on ok.  It’s a sheer grey, very light.  It has a slight shimmer that comes out in the sun that I think makes it even prettier than My Pointe Exactly.  I like it better!  It’s a little shiny and dressy.  The visible nail line isn’t too bad, although I would make sure to have shorter nails when I wear it.  Success!  I love that I’ve been hauling this around for years, and now I’ve finally grown into it.

I bought this in a Duane Reade drugstore on the Upper West Side a long time ago.  It brings back memories!
