OPI: Charmed, I’m Sure
Fuchsia purple shimmer

“Charmed, I’m Sure” is from OPI’s holiday 2022 collection “Jewel Be Bold”.

The colour of “Charmed, I’m Sure” is gorgeous but the formula is so tricky. It’s patchy and not easy to apply. It’s sheer as well. Not a winner formula-wise. I used three coats for my nails. The drying time is average.

I applied a bit of glitter by the base of my nails. The glitter is CND Creative Play’s “Look No Hands”.

This is the final result:

Look at how pretty it is.

And here’s “Charmed, I’m Sure” alone; three coats and no topcoat yet.

Here are the polishes I used today:

It’s a shame that the formula is both tricky and sheer – and that the drying time is “only” average. The colour is super gorgeous, but… I’m not sure I have patience for this in future.


Number of coats: 3
Drying time: Average
Finish: Shimmer
Overall impression: Tricky, sheer formula, average drying time. Gorgeous colour but it doesn’t quite make up for the formula problems

CND Vinylux: Crimson Sash
Crimson red metallic shimmer

This is the second CND Vinylux I bought on special at 70 % off.

The formula is rather thick but that made the coverage really good. I could easily have got away with one single coat. I used two out of habit though and also because I prefer two coats. The drying time was good.

I made some broad brush strokes with a baby pink and a red, both stamping polishes.

I topped it with Trend It Up’s Dazzling Effect Top Coat.

Here’s the final result:

CND Vinylux: Crimson Sash

I like it!
