In this post, you’ll find a light review and swatches of a sweet pink from OPI - OPI It’s a Girl! NLH39. This medium coverage sheer nail polish can be described as a cool-toned soft rose pink.

It offers a high level of coverage and pinkness saturation for a sheer pink, and below, we'll compare it to another pink shade, but before we get there let's discuss this color.

It’s a Girl! is nearly opaque, but if you have longer nail tips, you will see the white underneath.

I love testing out sheer pink nail shades like this one because they seem to always work out no matter what you do. These shades always tend to be universally flattering in that they can look good on anyone.

Because this is a classic sheer pink shade, you could wear it as your daily driver.

It’s muted enough, it’s not in your face, and pink enough that it works for an every day touch of femininity, a Valentine’s Day manicure or as a baby shower gift.

Don’t you love how soft and feminine this pink nail color is?

This bold pink nail polish is often compared with another bold pink that OPI makes - Mod About You.

Now let’s see how it compares to another pink from OPI….

OPI It’s a Girl! VS OPI Mod About You

OPI defines It’s a Girl! as a baby pink and Mod About You as a light pink.

They differ in that OPI It’s a Girl! is a medium coverage true pink, whereas OPI Mod About You is a full coverage pastel pink.

They’re both light pinks that offer even coverage in 2 coats.

Below are both colors, shown in 2 coats:

Notice how Mod About You has more of a spring pastel pink look? While they’re both light pinks, It’s a Girl! is also slightly darker than Mod About You.

All in all, OPI It’s a Girl! is a classic pink suitable for Valentine’s Day, baby showers and everyday wear. It’s easy to apply and the coverage increases with more coats.

If you’re looking for more of a bright springtime pink, go with Mod About You.

If you're looking for an easy going medium coverage pink, It’s a Girl! is the best choice.

For best results with either shade, pair it with the OPI base and top coat or the long-wearing OPI Infinite Shine base and top coat.
