OPI Purple with a Purpose + OPI Can't you Sea?



 
I wanted to see if I could make any use of OPI Can't you Sea? - a super sheer, watery polish with tiny microflakes that reflect blue, green and gold tones. On it's own it looks terrible! I added two coats of Can't You Sea? over two coats of OPI Purple with a Purpose. It does look much better on top of another colour but it is still too sheer and underwhelming to impress me. Purple with a Purpose has great formula. I wouldn't call it muted or dusty, but isn't the brightest of purples. There is also a tiny amount of magenta shimmer in there, but sorry OPI after using Zoya Mimi this doesn't come close to being a fave purple :)

Revlon Cherry Berry and Grape Shimmer




Revlon Cherry Berry is a pretty, slightly muted blue toned red/berry creme. The formula on Revlon's reds are usually 1 - 2 coaters, this one included. The colour is flattering on my skin, and the formula is easy to work with. Not an uncommon colour at all so not crazy about it. I tried adding a coat of an old Revlon Glimmer Gloss in Grape Shimmer to see what it looks like on the nail. It does add a beautiful shine to the nail, and a small amount of purple and blue shimmer. The shimmer is very tiny flakes, and has a subtle effect.

So cute :) OPI Passion and Nicole by OPI Step to the beat of my heart



3 coats of OPI Passion and 1 coat of Nicole by OPI Step to the Beat of my <3
Love both these polishes, Passion is a very flattering sheer jelly and I adore the cute pink and purple holo hearts. I loved this mani :)
The hearts stay on VERY well, it's actually hard to get them off! I put them on my toes sometimes and they don't budge at all. I would love to try Nicoles other heart glitters!
