Louboutin Manicure

In my last post I hinted that I have just purchased some new OPI nail polish and had plans for The Thrill of Brazil and Lady in Black, well here it is...the Louboutin.

As you can imagine it was really easy to do, just OPI Lady in Black on the front of the nail and OPI Thrill of Brazil on the underside. Two coast were applied to each side to increase the depth of colour, and I found that  the black on the front showed through on the underside, so a third coat may be require to deepen the red underneath but this depends on the quality of the polish that you choose to use.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to do it on my own nails as I'm a recovering biteaholic, but I'm getting there. I can't remember where I first saw this idea (probably on another blog) but I did a bit of research into getting the right red and I think that the result looks great. Let me know what you think!

Oh My OPI

I'm so excited, have just been to the wholesalers and bought 4 new OPI nail polishes:  I Vant To Be Alone Star, I Eat Mainely Lobster, The Thrill of Brazil and Lady in Black. I have waited all week to get these and I have some fun plans this evening for the last two, and I will hopefully upload the results by tomorrow.


I also had a delivery of OPI Swiss Blue Antibacterial Hand Soap and OPI Swiss Hand Guard Antiseptic Handwash Gel, which I will use tomorrow when I do my friend's french gel overlays. I have tried other brands, but I find that they dry the skin out and smell like vodka and these are not only moisturising, but they smell nice too.
