OPI: Hey Baby (revisited)
Pink crème

I haven’t worn this gorgeous pink since March 2018 so it’s definitely time again. I was in the mood for something bright and cheerful and I’d say that “Hey Baby” is exactly that.

“Hey Baby” is originally from Christmas 2014. The formula is still good and easy to work with. I used two coats for my manicure. Looking at the pics I probably should have used three coats but you can’t see the small irregularities in real life. The drying time is good.

The stamp is from the stamping plate “KADS Geometry 017”. I stamped with a plain white stamping polish from Konad. I topped it all with Top Shelf Lacquer’s holo glitter topper “It’s Not What You Drink”.

This is the result:

OPI: Hey Baby

I think this is really cute.

Impala: Roxo Descolada
Deep purple shimmer

Here’s another polish from Brazil. It’s been sitting with a bunch of polish sister in a box of untrieds, waiting to shine on my nails. Today is the day where it’s going to do just that.  

The formula is like a crelly and the coverage was so-so. I ended up with three coats to achieve desired opacity. The drying time was average, leaning towards slow.

The stamp is from the stamping plate “PY-X006”. I stamped with Color Club’s “Harp On It”. I topped it all with China Glaze’s glitter topper “WildFlower Hour”.

This is the final result:

I really like the end result.

And here’s “Roxo Descolada” alone; three coats and no topcoat. The shimmer is gorgeous!

I am torn over what to think about this polish. On one side it has really beautiful shimmer. On the other side – three coats are too many for a colour this dark. And it definitely didn’t help that it didn’t have a fast drying time.


Number of coats: 3
Drying time: Average to slow
Finish: Shimmer
Overall impression: I’m not impressed with the formula, the coverage or the drying time. The shimmer is gorgeous though.
Buy again: No
