OPI ~ Berry Fairy Fun

OPI ~ Berry Fairy Fun

Purple base with sparkly pink shimmer

“Berry Fairy Fun” is from OPI’s holiday collection from 2018: “Disney’s The Nutcracker and the Four Realms”.

The formula is on the runny side, so don’t overload your brush! I used two coats for full opacity and the drying time is really good.

The stamp is from the stamping plate “XY-COCO12” and I stamped with a stamping polish from El Corazón called “Turguoise” (that’s how it’s spelled on the bottle) :D

I topped the whole thing with Depend’s glitter topper. It hasn’t got a name but it’s number 335.

Here’s the whole thing, including a layer of topcoat.

I love glitter over stamping!

This is “Berry Fairy Fun” alone. This is two coats and a thin layer of topcoat. The photo is taken in daylight.

Deep purple jelly with purple glitter

Milky Way is from Essence’s relatively recent collection “Dancing On the Milky Way”. I only bought this one from that collection.

The formula is on the thick side but still easy to work with. I used two coats for full opacity and the drying time is good.

The pretty stamping design with stars is from one of my new stamping plates “ZJOY-Plus009”. I stamped with a gorgeous stamping polish from El Corazón called “Orchid”.

I topped the whole thing with topcoat to seal it all up.

Here’s the final result photographed in daylight, no sun.

This is “Milky Way” alone; two coats and a thin layer of topcoat. It’s photographed in a lazy and rare ray of sun.

Pink glass fleck

This is the third and last polish I bought from China Glaze’s Grinch collection for Holiday 2018.

The formula is really good the polish covers really well. I used two coats for full opacity. The drying time is good.

I stamped stripes on it. I found the stripes on Lina’s stamping plate ”Feeling shapely! 01” and I stamped with Born Pretty Store’s stamping polish ”Summer Mints”.

Here’s how it all ended up, including topcoat.

Isn’t this just pretty?

This is “Who Wonder”, two coats and a thin layer of topcoat to make the glass flecks sparkle more.

Red with red and golden shimmer and microglitter

Here’s my second polish from China Glaze’s Grinch collection for Holiday 2018.

The formula is really good and you can actually get away with one single coat of this red beauty. I used two though because that’s the way I roll. The drying time is good.

I made it into a dotticure. I love this simple dotty design. I made it with OPI’s black ”Never Have Too Mani Friends!” and Colors by Llarowe’s holographic silver stamping polish ”Sparkling Diamonds”.

Here’s how it all ended up, including topcoat.

I love this!

This is “Ho! Ho! No.”, two coats and a thin layer of topcoat to make the microglitter sparkle more.
