OPI Princesses Rule

I was in the mood for something delicate after all those glitter bomb manis lately so I chose OPI Princess Charming. It is a delicate sheer pink shimmer from the OPI Princess Charming collection.

My usual Sally Hansen Triple Strong base coat and then I used two coats of Princess Rule. I probably could've gone with a third but I was happy with how two looked. Lastly I applied a coat of Revlon Colorstay top coat.

Now some pretty photos. I'm afraid I only have a few and only in artificial light :(

I love how soft and delicate this looks. I find this shade great as a palette cleanser but still has a gorgeous bit of sparkle to it. I don't often wear girly shades but I really like this!

OPI Go On Green

I was in the mood for some green! So I chose OPI Go On Green from the Brights collections. Go On Green is a gorgeous duochrome that shifts from light blue to green.

I applied one coat of OPI Nail Hardener as my base coat. Then I applied three coats of Go On Green which was very sheer. I found the application very easy - the brush was easy to control and although thin the formula was still easy for me to work with. Then I applied a coat of Seche Vite to seal the manicure.

These photo's were taken in artificial light.

Then the following day I took these photo's in the natural light.

I adore this colour! Each time I see this colour it instantly reminds me of mermaid scales.I really can't wait to try this over black, I think it will make the colour 'pop' even more! I really love this colour but it is very sheer and seemed to pull away from the edges of my nails before I put my top coat on.

OPI Black Onyx

I recently bought a flakie polish that I'm dying to try out and I decided that a black creme would be the best choice for me to get the full effect. So with that in mind I chose OPI Black Onyx!

One coat of Revlon Calcium Gel Nail Hardener and then a single coat of Black Onyx. I applied a thick coat of Seche Vite Dry Fast top coat and then used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri speed dry drops.

Once my manicure was dry I took these photo's in artificial light that night.

The following day I bravely ventured into the 40°C heat to take photo's in the blistering sun.

Well what can I say? Black! Creme! Perfection! I would advise using two thin coats when applying Black Onyx because there were slight areas of balding that weren't easily covered with one coat. It also makes it difficult to fill in those small balding sections because the nail polish dries quickly so it didn't meld together for an even coat. This has definitely become my go-to black creme nail polish!
