OPI ~ Ink Suede

Silky matte blue/purple with shimmer

Today’s polish is bought in a blog sale along with OPI’s “Suzi Skies In the Pyrenees Suede” that I showed you just the other day. It’s a lovely blue/purple shimmer that dries up silky matte. It stamps too btw.

The formula is good. The polish dries really fast so you need to work quickly when you apply it. It covers in one coat but I applied two because that’s the way I roll.

I sponged on some glitter by the base of each nail. I used NYX’s “Under The Moon” for that, it’s a blue/silver/holographic mix of glitters in a light blue tinted base.

I topped it all with topcoat and this is what my nails ended up looking like.

I love glitter gradients so much! I think they’re super pretty and classy!

This is “Ink Suede” alone; two coats and no topcoat. I really like the finish even though I always end up topcoating it :D

Goldish green with scattered holo effect, silver microglitter and pink shimmer

Today’s polish is from a grab bag bought directly from Different Dimension. It isn’t a polish I would have picked myself even though it’s actually quite nice.

The formula is good though. I used two coats for full opacity and the drying time is really good.

The butterflies on the ring finger and the middle finger are stickers and I made dots with Sally Hansen’s “Sonic Bloom” from the Insta-Dri collection.

Here’s the final result including a layer of topcoat. This first photo is taken with flash.

This is taken under a desk lamp. I like this colour combo.

Silky matte grey with shimmer

I bought today’s polish in a blog sale recently. It’s a lovely grey shimmer that dries up silky matte.

The formula is good. The polish dries really fast so you need to work quickly when you apply it. It covers in one coat but I applied two because that’s the way I roll.

I used a stamping design from Moyou London’s stamping plate “Trend Hunter Collection-03”. I stamped with a black and white stamping polish from El Corazón.

I topped it all with topcoat and this is what my nails ended up looking like.

I don’t wear grey a lot. I like to mix it with black and white though.

This is “Suzi Skis In The Pyrenees Suede” alone; two coats and no topcoat. Look at that finish, isn’t that lovely?
