We were at the store a week ago and I noticed a new display of OPI’s. I started freaking out because where I live in South Carolina we NEVER get new products (my CVS JUST got the Wet n Wild Pop Art shadows that came out in 2013). So when I saw this I started rummaging through to see what the colors were and when I came across My Gecko Does Tricks I HAD to get it. Not only because the color is gorgeous but also because we recently got a gecko and I had to show her some love.
My Gecko Does Tricks is part of OPI’s Hawaii collection that is now available at Ulta. I mentioned above that one of the reasons that I bought My Gecko Does Tricks was because of the color. The metallic finish of the polish is what really makes this polish pop. In these photos I’m wearing two coats of My Gecko Does Tricks but if I wanted to go for a light look I could get away with one coat and it still look gorgeous. It went on flawlessly and dried without any problems.
I also mentioned above that the reason that I bought My Gecko Does Tricks was because we recently bought a gecko. We purchased Yoshi, who is a leopard gecko, at Petco a few months back. She is nothing like what leopard gecko’s are advertised as being. She is super social, loves to be handled, and loves sitting out in her day lamp. When she climbs on me she is always super intrigued by nail polish and most of the time will head straight for my nails, except when I wear red.

I LOVE that green color, it’s absolutely perfect for Spring ! I definitely need to check out the OPI Hawaiian Collection. OPI is one of my favorite nail polish brands <3
WOW! What a color, and the name of the nail polish is a funny one. It is fun to see the pictures of your gecko. Thanks for sharing!
i love the shade!! 🙂 it’s been a while since i got new nail polish colors too. i feel like i might need to get something new to welcome spring!
What an interesting color nail polish this is! I love geckos as they are unique!
The green is so vibrant. This is a fun hue for summer. I’d love to trot through a beach with this on my toes.
OMG you bought a real life gecko!! I would be scared but it looks cool with you isnt it awesome when you find nail polish to match your real life! Yass!
Oooh, Yoshi looks so friendly and it seems like she doesn’t like the color red. I have to say, the color of your nail polish is lovely – not for everyone, but it certainly complements your skin tone.
That is so artistic to use the gekco as part of the photography background. Love the colors of your nails, with the gecko in your hand, the color just popped!
That shade of green is just perfect for spring and summer nails! I’ve never actually tried any O.P.I. polishes before but the colour ranges they have look amazing 🙂
I really like that shade. A lot. I like my nails to stand out and with a cool color like that, they would!
I love all fun tropical names! Summer is my favorite time to be bold with my nail colors
That is one sweet color! I’ll have to look for it next time I go get my nails done.
The nail polish color really stands out. Your gecko has a really nice skin design.
What a great polish line! I LOVE all of their fun names. I can’t believe you can handle your gecko like that. I thought those guys were supposed to be mean.
Nah she’s a total sweetie pie. She can be cranky when she’s shedding or if you wake her up but she doesn’t bite or anything like that 🙂
I think your gecko is super cool! You really lucked out with it. It’s so pretty!
How neat to have a Gecko as a pet!! That is a wonderful color of green Opi nail polish.
Love your gecko. So cute, The nail colors are great.
I had to stop and look close to see if that was a real Gecko. They are such a cool pet to have. By the way… great nails.
Love your nails!
You needed that beautiful green color for St. Patrick’s Day! It looks very springy. Glad you found it at your store.
That color is awesome, I love it for spring! So bright!
That’s a beautiful color! The Hawaiian collection color all sound great for spring and summer. Yoshi is incredibly cute too!
That has to be the most fun name for a shade ever! What a super bright green!
I love this color! Whenever i see one of these types of posts, I am so envious because i don’t have nails! I have to work on that
This shade looks amazing. I love how your Gecko and OPI color match. Too cute
I am so in love with that shade! I have been needing a new green for summer and I know what I’ll be buying soon! And your gecko is adorbs!
This is such a pretty color, I need to add this to my collection.
This is such a pretty, springtime color. I think I’m going to buy it for my daughter.
What a beautiful color! Wow that gecko is really cool.
OPI always has amazing names for their shades. I totally want this one collection!
Your gecko is beautiful! And I’m in love with the creative names. I do not wear nail polish, but these look really fun to try.
Okay, that shade is amazing. And I love that you have a gecko on your hands with the gecko nail polish. Awesome!
My step-dad had an iguana and a snake, so I am familiar with reptiles, but at this point, I am happy with a DOG! LOL
Cute nail polish color, very spring!
This nail polish color is absolutely perfect for the spring and summer! I’m a huge fan of lime green nails! I need this polish!
What a gorgeous color. I don’t do my nails often as they are too short but this is such a gorgeous color. Would love to use on my toes!
What a fun name for a nail color. I like the green polish.
Wow, a fun new pet and a fun new nail color! I love the iridescent look!
Green is my favorite color and I get super excited when I see shades like this because they are so stinking fun! I dont wear a lot of nail polish because it just peals off a few hours later. No matter how I prep my nails, no matter what brand of polish I use. I even had problems with gels and acrylics back in the day lifting and chipping. Ugh. But, sometimes when the mood strikes and the color is awesome I will splurge and paint them. I am loving this.
This is such a great color for spring. I love all the great names OPI comes up with.
I love the green color of this polish. Your gecko is just like mine (Snowflake). She is albino and yet has the same kind of markings. Where yours has brown mine has light yellow. She loves to be handled and loves to lay in the day light also. She also is a sort of watch dog. She spies on people when I leave the room or step outside.
Our Yoshi does the same thing (with the spying) and anytime the Hubs goes into the room she RUNS for the front door of her cage and starts climbing. We were told that she would basically just lounge around and we were pleasantly surprised when she turned out to be so active and social instead!
I wonder if it is the girls that are the active ones because my son had a male that was just a lounger. Or maybe it is that they are fancy leopard geckos. My son’s was a leopard gecko not a fancy. I was told the females are larger than the males also. The geckos remind me of a cat with how she acts or at least mine does.
What a pretty polish! OPI often has such beautiful shades. Cute gecko too. My kids often ask us to purchase one, but I would have to take care of it. I’m too busy taking care of them. LOL
I’ve never heard anything but a good word about Opi. I fully intend to try it myself someday too.
great shade of green! I won’t be holding a gecko anytime soon though
Green is my favorite color, and that shade is stunning! I’m going to buy this for my toes – what a fun and cheery color for spring!
It really is!
That is a cool shade of green. I think I only have one green nail polish color!
I only had one but in the past few months I’ve just been drawn to how gorgeous some of the green polishes look.
I love this color, it is pretty.
