Back to today's nails. Flower-to-Flower is a Barbie pink with this teeny tiny silver shimmer from OPI's Summer Flutter collection. It's so subtle indoors that I thought this was a creme at first! I used a base coat of Seche Natural, and 2 thin coats of Flower-to-Flower. I may have been able to get away with just one coat, but I went with 2 to be safe. I really do like the brush design of OPI. Instead of being round, it's nearly flat so that you have this nice wide brush to work with. Am I making sense? Megan from Little Music Boxes has actually taken the time to take pictures of all the nail polish brushes she has [here]. Who knew there were so many ways to make a nail polish brush?
I didn't have any issues with application - even with my super nubbins! I have to apologize - my hands are in horrible shape. For the past 3 weeks, I've been working on my house (I'm buying it), and I've been staining and painting and moving and scraping and cleaning and yes I'm a mess. Dry rough cuticles, stubby nails, you name it. I'm a slight wreck.
First some sun pictures:
Now, I did use a top coat (as always!). Last time I tried OPI, I had issues with using Seche Vite, so on my right hand, I used Seche Vite like normal. On my left (swatching) hand, I used OPI Rapi-Dry Top Coat that came with one of my OPI Minis packages I purchased. It's a teeny tiny bottle, check it out.
I think this color would also be perfect for younger women - maybe it's just because I'm looking at my super nubbins and thinking "little girl", haha. Either way, total win.
