OPI - Sheer Tints Watercolor nails.

Today I want to show you a watercolor mani I made using OPI's Sheer Tint polishes.

I bought the mini set because I wanted to try them, but I wasn't sure I would actually use them a lot, so for me I think it would be a waste to buy all 4 in full size. I'm glad I made that decision because although they give a nice effect I don't think I will be using them that much, but I like this mani I did with them.

Time for pictures.

I started out by painting all of my nails white with OPI - Alpine Snow and then I just made random spots on the nails with all 4 of the Sheer Tints which ended up like this.

Bottle shot!

After applying the Sheer Tints I stamped over them with a white stamping polish from Dashica.

I think it gave it a nice effect.

What do you think? Have you tried the Sheer Tints?

Essie - After School Boy Blazer

After School Boy Blazer is a inky navy blue creme from Essie's Fall 2013 For The Twill Of It collection. 

It's a bit of a vampy dark blue and it has a nice shine to it. Although I like dark and blue this color didn't do much for me. Don't know why...

The formula was great and it was easy to apply. Furthermore it was almost a one coater, but I needed 2 coats for full opacity. Drying time was nice.

Here it is with 1 layer of top coat in natural light.

What do you think?

Application: 9/10
Opacity: 8,5/10
Colour, prettiness: 7/10
Value for money: 8/10
Overall: 8/10
Buy again: Probably not.

A England - Excalibur

Today I want to show you a great polish from A England.

Excalibur is a silver foil with gold in it from A Englands The Mythicals collection. There is more than one version of this and to be honest I'm not a 100% sure which one this is, but I think it's the newest one since the older version is more silvery and looks more like foil.
It's a pretty polish though and I think it would be great for stamping, so I'll have to try that some time.

The formula on it was great to work with and made application a breeze and it was almost opaque in 1 coat, but it took 2 to reach fill opacity. Drying time was fairly average.

Here it is in natural light with 1 layer of top coat.

Unfortunately I had a hard time capturing the gold shimmer with my camera. *sigh*

What do you think?

Application: 9/10
Opacity: 8/10
