The colors I used were WOW Cosmetics numbers 304 (the teal) and 315 (the purple)- I'm planning to do swatches and reviews on them pretty soon. Spoiler: I really like WOW Cosmetics! I'll probably get a lot of their colors, right now I have four.
See that dent on my left ring finger? Color me highly unimpressed with OPI top coat + drip dry formula. I feel like this is one of those lessons I have to relearn every once in a while. Usually I go with domestic brand topcoats, which work just great. But I've got this in my collection (cost me a pretty penny, too!) and every now and again I say to myself "You know, it's OPI, it's got to be good!" and then I regret it pretty soon after. Seriously, I did nothing for an hour, and somehow that still got dented on my way to taking the picture. The stuff I use normally is dry enough to function within two minutes and diamond hard in ten. Why, OPI, why?? You make such pretty polishes, why does your topcoat suck?
To end on a positive note: I really do love this manicure! I threw this together pretty quickly- took me about ten minutes tops, not counting dry time. I'll probably take the time to do it more neatly in the future, but this is a great way to have pretty nail design quickly, and I'll probably be doing this manicure again.
I like fun irregular french manicures! And these colors together are awesome :)
ReplyDeleteIt is good to know that the OPI topcoat did not impress you. I'm generally a SV girl, but sometimes the shrinkage with certain polishes, esp. jellies, irks me.
I've been planning some frenches as taped manis, because I can't do a straight line to save my life.

DeleteMy French skills have actually improved since this post- I did a traditional French manicure just a week ago and it came out great! I'll do it again post pictures when I get my new camera :D
