OPI Crown Me Already! - Miss Universe Collection

Hi there everyone,

Hope you're doing fine and that you're having a great weekend.
Today I'll show you another polish  from the Miss Universe Collection. It's basically a mix of silver micro-glitter, hex-glitter and some other medium-sized pieces of silver glitter, all in a clear base.
Of course, because of the clear base, you'll be needing 3 or 4 coats for opacity. I only did 2 here. Normally, IRL, the portions of nail that you obviously can see through the glitter in these pictures, is not so visible actually.
The application was OK for a glitter, and I gotta say that I really like the sparkle and the joy that this can bring to any mani when used as a top coat!

So, here I'm wearing 2 coats of OPI Crown Me Already!, no top coat:
In the shade

In the sun
An over a dark base:


In conclusion:

Application: 4/5
Formula: 4/5
Finish: 4/5
Drying time: 4.5/5
Opacity: 4/5

Overall: 4.1/5



Thank you everyone for watching!

Hugs!

OPI - Teenage Dream

Hello everyone,

I'll have to start today with some terrible news (for me and all the non-American residents OPI lovers):
My number one OPI supplier TransDesign (TD) has stopped selling OPI!!!! Since today! I'm crushed!!! I mean they were the only ones selling OPI at a normal affordable price, shipping internationally  and the most serious of the nail polish vendors. Never had problems with the commands, all I've got was was what I've expected. I know that there have been problems between them and OPI, but... for me they were number one. Hope they will make peace with OPI and they will start re-selling this brand.
(Edit:  it seems that TD will cease activity, and the business is transferred to another site, called nailsupplies.us. We'll see...)

So Teenage Dream (from the Katy Perry Collection 2011) was amongst the polishes I've received with my last TD command.. (I'm gonna cry here..).
It's one of the most beautiful polishes OPI has ever done! It's simply amazing! At fist I wasn't so excited about this collection, especially after all the pre-command messy stuff all the nail polish vendors (oh, them again, and I'm not talking about TD here!) did and that they couldn't honor.
But it worthed waiting.
This beauty is a gorgeous mixture of  pink glass flecks and holographic glitter in a sheer pink base! Amazingness! I was so thrilled with it I wore it at the office! (ok, it's a little bit too festive to go to work wearing it, but... oh well ;), it's too beautiful and I hadn't have any meeting that day! :D) ).
Dries out super fast and what an effect!
Of course, it's sheer, so you'll need at least 2 coats. Here I'm wearing 3 coats of Teenage Dream and 1 coat of NailTek Quicken.





This was taken in the sun.

And, after work hours I thought why not try the new white crackle I've got with the same command ? I'm talking about Burst Crackle #8 Blizzard:


Don't they look like sugar coated candy?? ;)




See ya soon!

Big hugs for you!!! Thank you for reading my nonsense.
