I stumbled upon this when I was in Malaysia. A dear friend and I went for a mani-pedi at an unknown nail salon at a relatively near shopping mall in Penang. There was a variety of OPI nail colours to choose from, and I randomly chose the Malaga Wine.
It ended up looking so good on my nails, that I had it on chip-free with no tip wear for 7 days. I’m the kind of person who does not have the same nail polish on longer than 3-4 days (even my CND Shellac was only on my nails for about 5 days, and that was supposed to last me 2 weeks!), so to have this on for so long and looking so good, well, it was love.
When BeautyBay.com had their free international shipping promotion, I jumped on the chance to get the Malaga Wine.
This isn’t a new shade from OPI, nor is it part of their bestselling range. But it has become one of my favourite red lacquers. It’s a beautiful creme of rich red wine like a shiraz or a merlot 😛
What’s your favourite red nail polish?
Chanel Rouge Carat! But this is a great red. I’m a huge fan of cremes because of the jelly-like finish. 🙂

LeGeeque: The Rouge Carat is a stunning red! 🙂
So beautiful and glossy, I feel like touching your nails 😉 I really like OPI although there are so many others to choose from these days. I find they have one of the longest-wearing formulas.

Lyn: Hehehe touch away! I agree. I never used to think OPI was all that, but I suppose I haven’t really tried them much to know. They do have the longest-wearing formula of all the nail polishes I have 🙂
OPI An Affair In Red Square! I like my polishes with some shimmer in them 😉

Beetrice: I gave my mum that one when I bought it at Melb airport 😛 I prefer cremes and jellies to the ones with shimmer but that one (well, and the Chanel Rouge Carat) are stunning 😛
My first red will always have a special place in my heart – OPI’s I’m Not A Waitress 🙂

Rinnah: Oooh that’s a beautiful one 🙂
It’s surprisingly wearable and not as fierce as I anticipated! Looks great on you! 🙂
Milktea: Thanks! Oh no, not fierce at all. For me, fierce colours would be a bright blue-red, y’know? Very meow 😉
I can imagine this to be perfect for the upcoming Autumn!!
My favourite red is probably Ulta3’s Sizzling Red! Lovely crimson red!! :’)

Tram: I googled that and landed on Jacie’s (You’ve Got Nail) review. Oooh very pretty red!
This is a very nice red shade! LOVE it! 🙂
Issa: It’s a beautiful red, isn’t it? I love it too 🙂
YSL Fuchsia Cubiste. It looks brighter and more intense than Malaga Wine, but it is cooler, more berry-like shade. It changes color depending on the lightning conditions from fuchsia, fire red, through blood red, cherry red, purple red, maroon and almost black. I have never seen a burgundy/ wine nail polish as intense and changing as this one before. If it wasn’t for the price and wiping off fast I would wear it constantly 😀
I had to Google swatches of YSL’s Fuchsia Cubiste but oh my goodness, it is beautiful! <3
