OPI Mojave Mystic Mauve and some weird blue french

This bottle of Mojave Mystic Mauve is dried and cakey at the top, lots of little dried chunks fall inside so my nails are a little bumpy. Then I noticed the angle and lighting in my pictures hid the bumps, yay for me!


Now the name says mauve, but it's really toned down with some grey and it has tons of bright pink and purple shimmer. It looks like yet another drab work-appropriate color I've chosen, but the unexpected funky shimmer makes it so fun! Should definitely click the picture to see the shimmer.

I used 2 coats with OPI Rapid Dry topcoat. I think this topcoat does an ok job of drying quick but as I type this I have already messed up my left index finger. It's been hours since I painted my nails, bleh.



I did a blue french with some polish from Wet Seal, this is the only bottle I own from there and it's all right application wise. The color is nice though. It was boring-looking so I was just playing around with some acrylic paint but thought I'd show you. I started with my pinky so by the time I got to the index finger it turned out ok lol. I forgot to take pictures of my right hand aaah.

Look at those stains! My left hand is really bad.

  8. Kae the blue french is gorgeous! I really like it and the mauve is a classic shade and looks really lovely on you! I just wish OPI's cost us $5.50 in OZ, we pay up to $20 - $25 a bottle! <3

    I think anyone can do it! I impulsively bought a cheap paintbrush and a mini try of acrylic paint and just tried it :D

    May:
    Thanks, I'm terrible with tutorials! Basically tho I put a dollop of blue paint next a dollop of white and dipped my brush into both and just swooshes them in a direction.

    Thank you. Haha that was the price 10 years ago in a salon, but even now I think the standard US salon price is $8.50 still way less than 20+ =x

  13. I agree - I both like the base color - it makes your nails look so clean and finished! - and the nail art. I especially like that you didn't do the same thing on every nail, but something similar. A gorgeous effect!
