Nicole by OPI ~ Listen to
your Momager!
Dark blue shimmer
The stupid name says it all: We’re now back at OPI’s polishes! Jeez,
they should fire the dink-heads who make up their polish names! Anyway – Listen
to your Momager! is from the Kardashian Kolor collection from holiday 2012. NOPIs
aren’t easy to get here usually, but this collection was suddenly for sale in a
local discount shop here. I wouldn’t have bought any if they had been full
price (because polishes here are usually ridiculously expensive), but with a
good discount? Yes please!
Listen to your Momager! has a good formula. The polish glides on easily
and covers well in two coats. Drying time is pretty good too. I must admit that
I looked at the bottle with suspicion – and I wondered why the heck I bought
it. I mean, I have a ton of dark blue shimmers, and do I really need another
one? But girls, once this was on I had no regrets. This is definitely one of
the prettiest blue shimmers I have. It’s deep and the shimmers are so big that
they’re almost flecks.
Enough talk – you’ve got to see it yourself! Here it is, two coats, no
topcoat yet:
Look at that shine and that shimmer! Isn’t that just looking cool?
One last pic on its own:
Then I taped my nails with striping tape. I made a cross on each nail
and then I applied two layers of Ulta “Indigo-go Girl”. That’s indigo hexagons
and glitter in a slightly tinted base. I thought this would work on its own,
but it doesn’t really, which is why I layer it over the NOPI! Anyway, I removed
the striping tape before the polish had dried, and then applied a layer of
Poshé topcoat. And here’s my final mani in the sunshine:
There’s so much shine in this that it’s hard to see the cross I made,
isn’t it?
It’s like a blue disco ball on my nails. I dig this!!
Here’s one last shot in ordinary daylight. This was you can see where
the striping tape was!
I love both these polishes. I was impressed with the shimmer of Listen
to your Momager!, and a little bit disappointed that Indigo-go Girl isn’t a
polish that works on its own. But yes, despite the pathetic naming convention, they’re
both keepers!
Listen to your Momager! is a stainer. But for some weird reason it only stained the nails on my right hand, even though the two hands get the exact same treatment. Weird.
Beautiful polishes, especially the first one I think. Too bad it stained, weird that only one hand was stained. :-/
ReplyDeleteYes, that really puzzled me. I mean, it's the same basecoat, the same treatment, and the polish stayed on equally long. Really odd!
DeleteVery pretty blue. Even if it is part of the kardashian line.
ReplyDelete...and even if it's got a silly name :D
DeleteVery beautiful blue!
ReplyDeleteI actually really like the names from OPI (don't know many from NOPI though), because I think they are really funny, but then again that might be becaue of my weird sense of humor :P
Haha, that might be. Or perhaps I'm just being grumpy about it :D
DeleteIt is a gorgeous blue in spite of the silly name :D
ReplyDeleteI prefer it without the glitter, even if that is pretty too!
I admit that this isn't the best match I've made, but I actually liked it pretty much anyway :)
DeleteListen to your momager is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! :)
DeleteWooow! such a precious blue shimmer!!!
ReplyDeleteI just knew you would react like that! :)
DeleteListen to your Momager reminds me of Orly Stone Cold and the final mani looks like a wrapped box with presents! (only the ribbon is missing :) )
ReplyDeleteThat's a really good point, I like the thought of that! :) I hadn't thought of Stone Cold, but it's true! :)
DeleteThat base color blue is very pretty!!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's really a cool blue!
