OPI ~ Charmmy & Sugar and Colour Alike ~ Red Moon



OPI ~ Charmmy & Sugar and Colour Alike ~ Red Moon
Nail art using nail vinyls

I have bought some nail vinyls on evilBay recently because I think they’re fun to play with.

Here’s the mani I ended up with:


I used OPI’s Charmmy & Sugar from the Hello Kitty collection. I love Hello Kitty, and I would definitely have bought more from this collection if there wasn’t so many crèmes. Charmmy & Sugar is an iridescent pink base, with tiny glitter pieces in blue, hot pink, light pink, silver and gold. Formula is great and the polish covers in two easy coats. Drying time is good too.

The darker red is Red Moon from Colour Alike. It’s a lovely, lovely dark red metallic. It covers so well that it’s perfect for manis like this one. One coat and coverage was fantastic. Drying time was great too.


This is Charmmy & Sugar on its own. I can’t really wear pale polishes like this, but it’s a great base for nail art, plus I expect to use it as an effect polish dapped over other and darker polishes – you know, for a bit of extra sparkle. I like that.


I am super pleased with how this mani turned out, and I’ll definitely hunt evilBay down for more cool nail vinyls.
