Black Label OPI: St Louis Sorbet

My friend Gail sent me a box of OPI Black Label wonderfulness a few months ago, and there were some beautiful polishes in there! This one is such a pretty polish. St. Louis Sorbet was released in 1997's Route 66 collection.


This color is a deep, dusty, rose pink with gold shimmer. The shimmer is obvious in the bottle and in the sun, and doesn't completely disappear on the nail, even in the shade.

The lovely, chemical-laden formula was a joy to work with. St Louis Sorbet is a very opaque polish and though I had very good coverage at one coat, I added a second for some depth. The brush isn't OPI's Pro-Wide brush, but it's long, skinny, floppy original one. Still, application was a cinch and the only clean-up I needed was due to a sneezing fit. :)

P.S. Thanks for the name, Gail!

    1. Wait . . . this *might* be Chile o Caliente from the South American collection.

    2. It's not Chile O Caliente. That one's got the label. Is it Sonora Sunset from the Painted Desert collection? I saw one nail wheel swatch of the old one, but I think it got re-released and the newer version is pinker.

    3. St. Louis Sorbet?
      Home on the O-range?

    4. Oops - sorry. Also meant to say, I never had Sonora Sunset, so it's not that. I actually went through a list I found online that was supposedly all the polishes up to 2007 (at which point I wasn't buying OPI any more anyway) and only came up with the two possibilities above.

  2. Yay! Glad you figured it out! And it makes me giggle that it's the St. Louis ones, since I consider that "home!"
