Tag: OPI
Nail-job craving: Something dark to match my gloomy mood. I suppose I could’ve gone with pink or red (to match my irritated enflamed eyeballs — hence feeling gloomy) but dark is less cheerful.
How I satisfied that craving: With OPI in Metallic 4 Life from the Nicki Minaj collection.
How this nail colour make me feel: My hope was that with all of the silver glitter in it, it’d help me feel a little more sparkly in terms of my mood. And I discovered that even glitter can’t perform those miracles when you’ve got persistent conjunctivitis and a cold.
Love it or hate it: I’ll revisit this colour when I’m in a better space (which is soon, my eyes are on the mend, finally!)

Nail-job craving: Still in the experimenting-with-glitter phase.
How I satisfied that craving: I started with two layers of OPI in Vampsterdam (from their Holland collection) followed by Essie Luxe Effects in As Gold As It Gets. And then added more gold glitter using Deborah Lippmann in Boom Boom Pow.
How this nail colour make me feel: It actually doesn’t make me feel anything. It definitely doesn’t make my heart skip a beat like last week’s glittery pink nails did.
Love it or hate it: I don’t hate it, but I don’t think it’s very me. Just not feeling it. I think it’s something I’d admire on someone else’s nails but on me something’s off about it.

Nail-job craving: I’ve still got Gelish Carnival Hangover on my nails so just wanted a fun way to play around with the look that wasn’t labour-intensive.
How I satisfied that craving: Using BeautyGeek‘s advice on how to create my own nail dotter thing-y, I used the back of a wooden skewer (was too lazy to dig out my sewing kit for a pin) to dot Nicki Minaj for OPI in Did It On ‘Em (which I had on my nails a few weeks ago) onto my nails. (from my previous post featuring me holding hands with BeautyGeeks’ Janine Falcon, I’ve obviously been obsessed about the combination of the magenta of Carnival Hangover with this acid yellow OPI shade for weeks now).
How this nail colour make me feel: Party ready. The dots are like bits of confetti adorning my nails.
Love it or hate it: Like. I’m thinking a smaller, more precise dot is what I’m in the mood for (so I indeed should’ve dug out my sewing kit to use a pin to make my dots).
