OPI: V. I. Pink Passes

OPI: V. I. Pink Passes
Bubblegum pink crelly

"V. I. Pink Passes" is from the OPI Summer 2019 Neon collection. I have seen many swatches of this polish and they are pretty much all showing a more neon polish that my bottle is. Perhaps mine is faded, who knows.

Anyway - the formula is not easy to work with. It's patchy and sheer and I used three coats to make it look decent. The drying time is fortunately good. The polish dries up to a semi matte finish.

I topped it with a layer of Cupcake Polish's "Strawberry Icing", which is a red tinted linear holo topper. It's basically a holo topper made for red bases in order for the holo not to grey out the base colour. It's super smart.

I made two rows of dots on it. I used two holographic stamping polishes from Colors by Llarowe for the dots: A blue called "Turq'd" and a purple called "Lilac Petals".

Here's the final result:

Isn't this just pretty?

Here's three coats of OPI "V. I. Pink Passes" topped with one coat of Cupcake Polish "Strawberry Icing".

I'm not a fan of the formula of "V. I. Pink Passes" so I will definitely rehome it. It's a shame because it's a pretty colour even though it's not particularly neon.
