(I've been suffering from allergies and I'm hoping to get over them before I do any makeup looks so until then, enjoy my reviews and nail polish posts!)
I used to dance ballet so anything ballet related is automatically something I need. When I heard about the OPI New York City Ballet Nail Polish Collection, I knew I had to get my hands on one of the polishes. I went back and forth on which one to get but decided on You Callin' Me a Lyre? because it reminded me of the satin on toe shoes.
I got it knowing it was a jelly polish and initially, I didn't like it on my nails. I thought it looked fine on my shorter nails where the smile line hasn't started growing but on my middle and ring finger, it appeared strange to me. Years of nail biting has left my smile line starting really high up on the nail. As I kept wearing though, the semi translucent jelly finish kept sucking me in and now I actually like it on my nails.
It does take some finesse to apply this evenly. I had to be sure to let each coat dry thoroughly on the nail and to not apply too much on each coat. I believe this was about four coats topped off with Seche Vite.
Are you a fan of sheer or jelly-like nail polish?
I am a huge fan of jelly polishes! ^_^ Beautiful color!
ReplyDeleteI used to think I wouldn't like that translucent finish but I think I might be hooked to the look!
DeleteThis would be a really good polish to sandwich a light, clear based, neutral/pink-colored glitter in between the layers (2 OPI, 1 glitter, 2 OPI)!
ReplyDeleteOooh I think that jelly sandwich would look so cute!
DeleteI don't really like jelly polishes but I'm tempted to get some so I can do glitter sandwiches :P
ReplyDeleteI think I have to slowly dip myself into the world of jelly polishes, if only for the glitter sandwiches!
