I am going to overdose you on nail colors/pictures this week! I finally got to play around with the rest* of my haul from last week:
And let me tell you, I'm not disappointed in my choices!! So...here we go...
First up, OPI Brand New Skates:
I'm not overly impressed. This is with two coats, and it's still very sheer/translucent. It might do better over a a thinker/darker/solid gray or black as it has a bit of shimmer to it too.
Next is the OPI New York City Ballet set:
VERY light & pale. I mean, you can't even tell "Don't Touch My Tutu" and "Care to Danse?" are even there! They look like clear polish in this light while "My Pointe Exactly" adds a gray sheen to my pinky. I didn't try the "Pirouette My Whistle" as it's a clear base with glitter and I didn't feel like wrestling the glitter off my nail. OK, so maybe I'm a little disappointed in how light this set is. But it's a good set to fall back on when an event calls for "clean" nails. Or I just don't feel like going bold colors.
Next is the OPI Dutch Treats set:
This is just a fun set of colors! (I want to go back and get some more from this set!) It's a good mix up in the box as you've got a dark, two brights, and a light shimmer. Ultimately, I chose my colors of the week from this box:
Red Lights Ahead...Where? on my ring fingers, and Kiss Me On My Tulips on the rest.
Oh, and I'm joining up with this, again, to showcase these lovely colors:
Happy Friday!!
* The only color I didn't play around with is the pink bottle. It's OPI Strawberry Margarita. When I was in the store I couldn't decide between this one and the regular sized Dutch Treats Kiss Me On My Tulips. They looked very similar in the bottles. When I found the Dutch Treats set had a small KMOMT, my decision was made - I purchased the regular sized SM!
Too bad about the ballet collection! Boo!
ReplyDeleteI have Brand New Skates, too, and use one coat of black first. It's MUCH better, then.
Happy Friday!
love the dutch treats colors! i had to do 3 coats to get the ballet set to look pretty! =/
ReplyDeleteI bought the ballet collection too and was disappointed at how light it was. Even after several coats, you could barely see it! Oh well, at least they cute names :)
ReplyDeleteI have a tough time with light colors as they hardly make it look like I have any polish on. I tend to stick with bold colors. So jealous of your haul though!
ReplyDeleteI literally just put on Petal Faster Suzi - I have Kiss me on my Tulips & Red Lights Ahead Where too. Love them.
