OPI Second Honeymoon


A warm toned baby pink creme. Pictured above is three generous coats which is needed to achieve opaqueness as it is quite sheer. With a light steady hand you could achieve a smooth and even finish. My right hand had some slightly bald patches due to my shakey left hand doing the painting, which is why you'll never get to see any pictures of my right hand. Nevertheless, it is a flattering light pink for most skin tones.

BarryM Pink Flamingo


3 coats of Pink Flamingo. Slightly streaky but barely noticable to the naked eye. The vibrant colour pays off more in direct sunlight.

What a chameleon. Believe it or not but that is the same colour, it appears to have morphed into something else completely. A good way to look at this is that you get two polish in one. Generally it falls somewhere in between these two.

Purple Ombre

Here is my attempt at ombre nails.


Thumb: OPI Give Me Moor!
Index: OPI Dutch 'Ya Just Love OPI?
Middle: OPI Parlez-vous OPI?
Ring: OPI Done Out In Deco.
Pinkie: Essie Lilacism.

At one time or another I have loved each and everyone of those colours, therefore I am happy to be wearing them all at once :)
So happy that I intend to keep this on for more than the usual 1 or 2 days of nail colour.

Looking back at older posts, those longer finger nails do not look good and ages my fingers. Lesson learnt: short nails suits all colours.
