Everything looks so good on you! A few month ago, sheer didn't interest me very much. Now almost anything interests me;)
ReplyDeleteMimosas For Mr. And Mrs looks especially awesome on you:)
Sanna, thank you!! They are really out of my comfort zone- I never wear them out of the house! But they are extremely pretty, maybe I should have the courage to wear them once in a while :)
ReplyDeleteThankyou very mcuh for doing that for me scrangie, i'll show mum when she gets home from work tonight! :)
ReplyDeleteScrangie, dear, how do you get the pales so streak free?
ReplyDeleteWhenever I get a hankering for something sheer and pale, I end up frustrated. NO matter what I use as a base coat, or ridge filler, the streaks are incredible.
Tell us your secret...
Tabe-chan, you're very welcome :) I hope she likes them! They're all very, very pretty!
ReplyDeleteSage1, truthfully, I always use three coats! Sometimes the base coat makes a bit of a difference- if I'm going to use a particularly streaky polish I use a whitish base coat like Seche ridgefiller, but I still end up with some streaks. Three coats usually takes care of the streaking problem, as does applying as slowly as possible.
Mom likes all but the last two.
ReplyDeleteOMG I loooooooooove it.
ReplyDeleteThanks heaps for those - now I want Mimosas ;-) oh and the polish of course!
ReplyDeleteScrangie, if I'm super pissed off at OPI for reformulating Bubble Bath, do you think that Mimosas would be a decent substitute for the old/white version of BB?
ReplyDeletePretty swatches as always! :)
Thanks Mom!
ReplyDeleteStephanie, I thought you might :) I'm sure every single one would look fantastic on you, but especially Passion!
Susan, you're very welcome :) I could go for a Mimosa myself ;-)
Samhainophobia, I know! What's up with that?! You don't tweak your most popular colors!
Anyway, I think Mimosas is a little bit cooler than the old Bubble Bath bit is very similar. I think it still maintains that clean, natural look of the old Bubble Bath, so I'd say it's a good replacement! :)
Love all those nudes!
ReplyDelete*stares at broken nail* :P
Tink, lol noooooo!! *hides under bed*
ReplyDeletehi, can i check with you which will u recommend for french manicure? cuz i wanna try but dunno which to choose... :) thanks girl!
ReplyDeleteHi Yixuan-132 :) My favorite OPI colors for a french manicure are tips in Alpine Snow or Swedish Nude, and the main color as Bubble Bath or I'm A Princess, You're Not. Other polishes I like for french manicures are Essie Marshmallow for tips and Essie Vanity Fairest, Orly Love Each Other or Rescue Beauty Lounge Clear Pink as the main color. Hope this helps :)
ReplyDeletePersonally, I like the new bubble bath (haha, they should have released this one as a different color)
ReplyDeletetoo bad I'll probably never get a chance to try the old one on ever (I probably will never be able to pull it off anyway)
Aksaiyo, I don't remember which version is which, the pink or the white, but I'm sure there are plenty of dupes if you like the color :)
ReplyDeleteHi Scrangie, thanks so much for all your awesome swatches!!!! Since you've already tried on so many polishes, I wanted to aks you what color is more opaque with 2 coats: OPI's Get Me To The Taj On Time or Moon Over Mumbai? Thanks xoxo
ReplyDeleteAre you sure that's only 3 coats of Passion ? Did you do thick coats? I feel like three coats of Passion is still very sheer and my bright white nails are peaking through. Maybe I need 4-5 coats but it looks absolutely perfect on your nails!
