OPI Sheer Tints Look #2

I'm having a lot of fun with these sheer tints! They really give you license to be creative and make nail art/looks a breeze. I achieved this look by first using a dotting tool to dot on the glittery shade (OPI Orange You Fantastic! From their Coca Cola collection last year). Then, I layered three shades of the sheer tint "I'm Never Amberrased". I experienced little bubbling this time around, as I used thinner layers of the sheer tint and waited a bit between application to let the layers dry.

Sally Hansen Big Glitter Top coat Goldi-Flecks

Ever since I discovered the "tin foil method" of glitter nail polish removal, I have started to wear glitters again without being afraid of the tedious time it takes to remove them. I saw this at the department store the other night and was quickly lured to buy it, as I had a good experience with another Sally Hansen glitter polish, Mermaid's Tale. I layered it over OPI's Skyfall (in honour of the new James Bond movie I guess) and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to work with. I used two thin layers to spread out the glitter and they dried without bubbling or any difficulty.

OPI Sheer Tints Look #1

Just a quick post today showing the most easiest and basic look you can achieve with the OPI sheer tints (or a set of jelly tints in general). I used two coats of a white base nail polish (essence the gel nail polish in "wild white ways") and dabbed each colour in its respective corner lightly. You don't need a special brush to achieve this look as I just dabbed the colours on sparingly. My only one complaint was that these jelly polishes seem to "bubble" as they dry, but it might be because I added an additional top coat on top (Seche Vite) and these polishes are marketed as top coats themselves (I just don't feel like I've finished my polish routine without a top coat to seal it all in!).

OPI discount nail polish haul

I wandered into a local beauty salon at the mall yesterday and stumbled upon some luck! They were selling off some older OPI polishes for 3 dollars each (or 5 for 10 dollars) so naturally, I hoarded. I was able to get all of the OPI sheer tints shades and one from the Coca Cola collection last year (Orange you Fantastic!). I have been looking for sheer tinted colour polish to try out some simple nail art and thought I missed the boat on getting them. It seems like you never know what the Universe will surprise you with!

I'll be sure to share the nail art concoctions I will come up with.
