OPI ~ That’s Berry Daring



OPI ~ That’s Berry Daring
Deep pink with a subtle shimmer

Here’s a beautiful deep pink polish from OPI. I’m not quite sure which collection it’s from but I think it’s the OPI Brights collection. 

The formula is good and the polish covers really well. The drying time is really good.

I added a silver holo sticker by the base of each nail and topped it with a iridescent/holo topper from LynBDesigns called “Iocaine Powder”.

Here’s the final manicure including a layer of topcoat. The picture is taken in daylight, no sun.

Dance Legend Anna Gorelova ~ #63 Lungwort



Dance Legend Anna Gorelova ~ #63 Lungwort
Lilac with blue shimmer

“#63 Lungwort” is from the Anna Gorelova collection from Summer 2017.

I used two easy coats for my manicure and the drying time was good. The shimmer in this polish is what makes it really special in my opition.

I made some red and white dots on it because I was in that kind of a mood. The red dots are made with Sally Hansen’s “240 Red Velvet” from the Sugar Coat collection. The white dots are made with OPI’s “Angel with a Leadfoot”.

I topped it all with El Corazóns holo flakie topper “421h/25”.

This is the end result taken in ordinary daylight.

I really like both the mix of colours and the simple dotted pattern.

This is Lungwort on its own, two coats and no topcoat. The picture is taken in ordinary daylight, no sun, and shows the pretty blue shimmer well.

A England ~ Perceval



A England ~ Perceval
Red shimmer

It has been over five years since I bought this polish, and I have only ever worn it once. Shame on me because it’s a really beautiful red. I decided to wear it for a Christmas party!

I used two easy coats for my manicure. Perceval is a one coater but I prefer wearing my polishes in two coats. The drying time was really good.

The snowflake stamp is from the stamping plate BPL-032 and I stamped with El Corazón’s White stamping polish. I applied a layer of silver/holo glitter over it for a snowy effect. The glitter is from Depend and has got number 335.

Here’s my final manicure.

It is on purpose that all the nails are different. I like it, and they are snowflakes after all :D

A England ~ Perceval

This is two coats of Perceval on its own; no topcoat yet. It’s a really beautiful red.

This is the stuff I used.



The Depend glitter is only half full now. It’s a good glitter because it adds that little something without taking over the manicure completely.



Number of coats: 2 but 1 is enough
Drying time: Really good
Finish: Shimmer
Overall impression: Really nice polish; I love the colour, the shimmer and the formula. A winner for sure.
