OPI Nail Lacquer in Moorea Morning Mist
Maybelline Express Finish Glitter in Copper Chick

I'm pretty sure everyone into nail art probably already knows how to do this: Cover nails with a solid color. Glitter by applying glitter nail enamel lower and lower on the nail with each executive application.

I had split up my nails into 4 different sections, leaving the one closest to my cuticle with no glitter. However, I wouldn't recommend doing that with this particular glitter nail polish. The Maybellin Espress Finish was so thick that I had to be very careful as not make my nails look like it was completely covered in glitter to begin with. If you do use this nail polish, I would recommend doing 3 sections, leaving the one closest to your cuticle with no glitter.

... Perhaps, the nailpolish was too old? As I am at my mother's and she has a lot of really old polishes. But the OPI polish was really old (as the labeling stating the color was changing color), but it applied as smoothly as I would expect any new bottle of OPI polish to apply. :)

Thanks for looking! and Kaboodle on. :)

Looks really pretty! I like the color because it's glam but subtle. Report Spam Posted by luv2kreate at 6:19 PM on 01/17/12

I agree... OPI is definitely a better quality than most polishes. Thanks for the review! Report Spam Posted by mollysaurus at 7:56 PM on 01/17/12

The look is gorgeous. I used a similar colored glitter polish for the holidays (with no solid color under it). Report Spam Posted by cimino68 at 4:37 PM on 01/19/12
