Wow, this polish is pink ! Like, hot pink with barbies melted into it, but neon, and really, really pink! Totally love this colour !
Application was okay. I went for a clear base coat, and this is 3 coats but you can clearly see my smile line. So I should have worn a white base polish !
It dries with a semi-matte finish, as neons often do, and it is a fast drier. Can totally see myself rocking hot pink tips this summer 
I’m a total sucker for pale blue polish this spring. Can’t Find My Czechbook is from the O.P.I. Euro Centrale Collection and totally scratches that itch.
The formula is okay, you can see it streaks a bit – especially on my middle finger – you need to get the brush loaded just right, since it sets pretty fast. But since blues are always tricky to formulate, and pastels are usually streaky, I think it could have been a lot worse ! I’m sure top coat would have evened it out.
This is 3 coats, you can see the finish is pretty nice. A great, standard pastel blue for sunny days
I was totally lemming over this polish for a while. And it’s pretty nice !
The formula is pretty good, it doesn’t dry very fast but does have a glossy finish. However, it did streak a bit, which was especially noticeable on my super-white tips, so I did 3 1/2 coats to get this effect. Admittedly, I’m crap at applying gellies, I just coat them too thin so they don’t level too well. Anyway, I would recommend 2-3 thick coats on this instead of going with skinny layers.
Anyway, very happy with this one, it’s summery, girly and office friendly
Before I even show you a photo, I have to say, this is a total rave review. I splurged out on a few O.P.I. nail polish on the boat over to the UK (well, on the way back, too!) – mostly from the Euro Centrale Collection from this spring. I wasn’ t so hot on this collection to start with, but it’s actually totally growing on me !
I reviewed My Vampire is Buff – a great pale neutral for nail art, and have another couple of reviews coming, but … Warsaw is my total favourite!
I Saw… U Saw… We Saw Warsaw is a deep, inky blue creme. It’s a bit like Midnight Cami by Essie without the shimmer. Except Midnight Cami is a total drag-monster !
Application was especially great. It went on in two coats, no dragging at all, it self-levels beautifully and it dries fast to a high-shine finish. Plus, you get the classic O.P.I. brush, which I totally love – flat, wide, flexible and an even spread.
LOVE IT !!!
Coming up tomorrow – Can’t Find my Czechbook & Suzi’s Hungary Again, they will be more balanced reviews, I promise
I’m back !
I had a lovely time back home, of course, I grabbed a few nail polishes – the swatches are in progress
If you follow Eeek, you’ll know that I met up with her while I was over! She is an absolute sweetheart, it was really lovely. I made the most of the occasion to get her feedback on my first ever nail polish creation !
I’ve decided to call this one Purple Peahen, I only made a batch of three (one of which went to Eeek), and so far, so good, it hasn’t separated or anything. It’s only a few weeks old and needs to sit for a bit longer, but if all goes well, I’ll be selling them on Etsy !
It’s not the best macro in the world, I admit that freely… So check out Eeeek’s swatch
Well, I couldn’t get a good macro shot of this one !
Darling Diva‘s Chandelle is a pretty glittery polish in earthy greens and coppers, the coverage is very light, so I put this one on over O.P.I.’s My Vampire is Buff.
I went for two coats then a top coat. There is a bit of a curve to the lightest green hex glitter, but I’ve been told it has been reformulated. If it bothers you, it might be worth asking about that before you order. It’s not really really curly though, and I actually like the extra reflections that that details adds
The brush is pretty nice, standard but good quality. The formula, as always, is great, no sinking, no gloopiness, very very smooth !
I’ll be back with some real posts tomorrow, this is the last scheduled one while I’m on holiday back home in the UK looking forward to seeing what you’ve all been up to !
