Hello Monday everyone! Hope You all had an enjoyable weekend. Mine was crazy but fun.
Although I did spend the night at the hospital again. I am super tired today, heavy duty concealer was my best friend. But on the bright side, I did get to trim, file and clean up my nails. I tend to keep my nails short for the warmer months because I either go swimming with my cousins, do gardening or wash my cars. I've had bad experiences with long nails while do said activities... Never again said I.
A couple of weeks ago, Sephora by OPI was on Hautelook for $3 each so I picked up five. They took forever to arrive but they finally did last Friday. Although I've worn nail colors from OPI and Nicole by OPI before, I have never tried Sephora by OPI. I have heard many great things about this polish so it's about time I tried it out for my own.
Comes Monday and guess what's on my nails for this week?!
Sephora by OPI in Handpicked For Me (sheer)
*Bonus* On my toes for the next two weeks are Sinful Colors in Tempest
I thought this shade was absolutely gorgeous from the site, that's why I ordered it but upon seeing the shade from the bottle, in person, up close... I wasn't too sure. I already own a couple of shades VERY similar to this, one of them OPI. So if I already bought it, might as well give it a try; if I like it, I'll keep it, if not, I can give it to my Aunt.
Maybe because this is a shimmery polish, but the formula is very thin compared to other polishes. It applied very evenly and dried quicker than you can say quick. After the first coat, I wasn't convinced still. After the second coat, I can faintly see my nails underneath but the color has become a whole 'nother shade. I added another coat to get the total opaqueness. And so what you see there, took three thin coats.
I wore a base coat on all of my nails to protect them like I always do. However, with the exception of the middle finger, I did not wear a top coat. I am testing this polish out so to see how well it fends on its own. Would defeat the purpose if I wore a top coat. The middle finger I needed to wear a top coat to secure the stone and the bow.
Like I said, I bought five, a couple creams and some sheer. I will do a post on them if not tomorrow then Wednesday. So please stay tuned if you're interested.
Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading guys! :)
