This is one of the legacy OPI shades that was released in 1993 as part of the Spring/Summer Paradise Collection. It’s also one of my favorite OPI neutrals.
Pros of this shade:
Warm toned neutral that goes with any outfit
It goes on creamy
Dries to the touch within minutes
Reminds you of the beach with the name

This is a shade to enjoy for many reasons - creamy application, the evocative name, the relaxing neutral color.
To enjoy it, lay around a bit in the sand nearest you and soak it in after you apply it.
Allow Samoan Sand to give you the very excuse you needed to relax for a bit.
