Beauty Swellness: The Nail Report

December 24, 2012

Nail-job craving: Everything’s sparkly during the holidays (the clothes, the shoes, the jewelry, the Christmas lights!), so after getting my Las Vegas Rock n Roll marathon mani removed last week, I was in the mood for something glittery, but not too rainbow bright.

How I satisfied that craving: With Stay the Night from the OPI Mariah Carey collection (in stores January 2013). It’s one of OPI’s new Liquid Sand textures, a matte texture with glints of glitter (Stay the Night is a matte black with red glints; the red is more apparent in real life than in these photos).

How this nail colour make me feel: Festive, but not too festive, which is exactly what I wanted.

Love it or hate it: Love.The matte texture is very cool (and much more subtle than a caviar mani), and my nails look a bit like a dark, sexy version of Dorothy’s ruby red slippers.
