OPI ~ This Gown Needs A Crown

OPI ~ This Gown Needs A Crown

Metallic silver sparkle

"This Gown Needs A Crown" is an oldie; it's from the "Miss Universe" collection from Autumn 2013. I bought it in a blog sale recently and am very happy with it.

The formula is good and I used two easy coats for full opacity. The drying time is good. This polish is so sparkly that it doesn't really need a topcoat to shine!

The stamp is from the stamping plate "BeautyBigBang XL-017". I stamped with red and blue stamping polishes from Colour Alike: "B. a Red Wine" and "B. a Rainy Mood".

I topcoated the whole thing, and here it is:

I love the outcome of this.

Here's "This Gown Needs A Crown" alone; two coats and no topcoat. It's so shiny that it freaked my camera out a bit.

These are the things I used today. Note the little crown on the top of the bottle of OPI.

I think "This Crown Needs A Gown" is a really gorgeous and sparkly base colour for nail art. I'm so glad that I got to buy it cheap from a blog sale.

Pink glitter in a clear base packed with blue shimmer

"Slumber Party" is from Color Club's "Dream On" collection. It's a lovely shimmer and glitter topper. I layered it over an electric blue polish from Color Club called "Trippie Hippie".

That turned out to be a perfect combination. The blue shimmer in "Slumber Party" looks absolutely gorgeous over the electric blue base.

Look at how pretty it looks. This is one coat of shimmer/glitter over "Trippie Hippie".

I love this combination!

I wore it like this because I think it's absolutely perfect!

Number of coats: 1 over a coloured base
Drying time: Good

Finish: Glitter/shimmer
Overall impression: Gorgeous topper

Shimmery lilac

"Time To Flamingle" was part of the Royal Gems value set of four polishes. I bought my bottle in TKMaxx, which means that it didn't come with the three other beautiful polishes. I did manage to find one of them though: "Crushing on Rubies", which I'll wear some other day.

"Time To Flamingle" is a bit sheer so I used it as a topper today - even though it does work on its own. My guess is that it takes three coats to make it opaque on its own. I layered it over a gorgeous purple shimmer from Essence, namely "Ultra Violet".

I added silver water decals to two of my nails and nail studs on the rest of them - topped it all with topcoat, and my manicure was finished.

Here it is:

This is from the lightbox. Look at that absolutely gorgous shimmer!

Here's a layer of "Time To Flamingle" over two coats of "Ultra Violet". I absolutely adore this combination.

I really like this polish and I especially like the two polishes together! I'm also going to try and layer "Time To Flamingle" over both hot pink and electric blue.

Number of coats: 1 over a colour or 3 alone
Drying time: Good

Finish: Shimmer
Overall impression: Great shimmer and colour. I love it!

Classic red shimmer

"A Little Guilt Under The Kilt" is from OPI's Autumn 2019 Scotland collection. It's a beautiful, shimmery, sexy red - a colour that's right up my alley. It's the kind of red that OPI is really good at too.

The formula is really good and also easy to work with. I used two coats for my nails today and the drying time was really good.

The dots are made with OPI's "Two-timing The Zones", which is a gorgeous pink crème and Attitude's "Glam Glitter Top Coat", which is a silvery holographic glitter.

Here's the final result, including a layer of topcoat.

I really like the look of this.

This is "A Little Guilt Under The Kilt" alone; two coats with a layer of topcoat on top. Isn't it just lovely?

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Really good

Finish: Shimmer
Overall impression: Amazing colour and shimmer, I love it!

Neon Pink creme

"It's The Shades" is from the recent "Rocket Man" collection. It's a gorgeous neon pink creme that dries up silky matte.

I used two super fast drying coats for full opacity. Then I added a layer of El Corazón's holo flakie topper "421h/25".

The stamp is from the stamping plate "ZJOY-plus006". I stamped with Color Club's "Harp On It", which is a gorgeous silver holo that works fantastically both as a polish and for stamping.

This is the final result including a layer of topcoat. The colour is way more neon than my photo suggests.

I love the final result of this!

Here's "It's The Shades" alone; two coats. You can see that it doesn't dry up shiny here.
