Nailart: OPI Lites to Darks

A friend of mine requested me do a certain design for her for a few years now, but for some reason didn't find the time to do it. So when I visited her new house last week I knew I had to bring these polishes with me. After eating some of her delicious  home-made pancakes we started with polishing the nails. And here's the result:

The colors that I'd used were from a mini set from the brand OPI named Lites to Darks and it contained four mini bottles. 

Colors used per nail:

• Thumb: 3 coats of Sweet Heart topped with 1 coat of Princesses Rule!
• Index: 2 coats of Sweet Heart topped with 1 coat of Princesses Rule! sponged with Meet me on the Star Ferry
• Middle: 2 coats of Meet me on the Star Ferry
• Ring: 2 coats of Meet me on the Star Ferry sponged with Lincoln Park After Dark
• Pink: 2 coats of Lincoln Park After Dark

Base and topcoat were used but I can't remember their names though. Will write that down next time.

It's a really simple design as you only need a sponge to create this, but the effect is quite nice. We absolutely loved the effect on the ring finger and I think I might try to wear a full mani with that combo.

What do guys think about this design? Would you try it?

OPI Liquid Sand: The Impossible

Yay my exams are finally over, hope yours are too. I only have a exam review day this week and then my summer break can officially start. Anywho as I mentioned before I couldn’t really post often, but this is about to change though so don’t worry ^_^ just bare with me.

After my last exam I immediately searched for a nail polish that I haven’t worn yet and one of those was from the OPI Mariah Carey collection. I know… shame on me as the first polish I showed you from that collection was a while ago as seen here

Description from the box it came in:

Fluid as sand in an hourglass. This matte fuchsia with star confetti* will never give up. Dries to a textured matte finish infused with reflective glints of light.

*The mini nail polish doesn’t have star confetti, but the full size does!

I kinda disagree with the color description though, because for me fuchsia would’ve been more pink while this almost seemed red, bright coral-ish red. That’s really the only that bothered me.

Off to the pictures… this time without the underwater photos and taken in the same position, because I hurt my wrist at last weeks training. Please excuse the ugly cuticle on my middle finger (trying to paint my nails while walking, was in a hurry…don’t ask haha)

I applied a base coat and two coats of The Impossible. No topcoat as that would’ve taken away the beautiful and unique texture. For easy removal see here

I love the color, it’s really in your face bright and draws attention. I would still choose the purple color from this collection over this “fuchsia” though.

What do you guys think of this color? Have you ever tried textured nail polish?

Yay finally did my nails again and created this nail design. Unfortunately I'm still in my exam resit period, but luckily I’m almost done and then I can finally do more nail art posts.

Nail polishes used:

• Essie - French Affair (French affair collection)
• OPI - Sparrow me the drama (Pirates of the Caribbean Collection)

Do you ever wear nail art? Do like this design? Would you recreate this one?

Purple Sand

So I really wasn’t able to post this past week due to my exams and the flu. I did polish my nails though in this gorgeous colour from the O.P.I. Mariah Carey collection called Can’t Let Go.

Description from the mini O.P.I. Liquid Sand Nail Lacquer set:

Hold on to this matte purple with dazzling sparkle. All liquid sand nail lacquer dry to a textured matte finish infused with reflective glints of light.  

 

I absolutely love this colour and the finish really complements it. I’m really happy that I was able to grab one of the last mini sets as the other colours from the collection really didn’t appeal to me and the mini set contained the 4 Liquid Sand formulas.

I took some pictures but they really don’t do this colour justice. It’s just amazing in reality and especially in sunlight.

The first two pictures were taken under water as I feel that this showed the most accurate colour of the nail polish. On the bottom picture you can really see the sand-like texture.

These polishes are mend to be worn without topcoat as they really dry to a sandy finish, but the colour is also beautiful with topcoat.

I highly suggest to get these polishes while they last as they are gorgeous and a great addition to your nail polish collection.
