OPI Baby Blue + Konad

I was lucky enough to find an bottle of OPI Baby Blue from the Exclusive Yokohama Japanese Collection. I have seen polishes from this collection for sale on ebay for US$40!!!!! Outrageous!
I wish they were more easily available because the whole collection looked so pretty and I would have bought all of them if I could have.

This polish is so cute and exactly what it says it is.... Baby Blue

OPI Baby Blue - Overcast weather

I think this was 3 coats but 2 is ok with this as it is no where near as thin and see through as other light blue polishes are. This is more opaque and beautifully shimmery.


Still continuing on with using Konad plate m36 I added some purple flowers (using OPI Black Chutney Cherry) and then some little crystal gems.

I really liked how this turned out. Very pretty!

OPI Flower-to-Flower + Konad

This was the final Polish I got from the OPI Summer Flutter Collection....
And it is my favourite :)

OPI Flower-to-Flower (overcast weather - in fact it was raining)

Unfortunately there has been no sun here so this is in the shade and does not show the beautifulness of this amazing colour. In some light it appears creme, but in the right light you can see the tiny little glittery shimmeryness to this polish.

I decided to add some butterflies to this gorgeous colour.


This is the butterfly off Konad plate m36 (thanks to Lisa who let me borrow this). This was done with OPI Black Onyx. The colour of Flower-to-Flower is more accurate in this photo.

Back to the bad light again :(

Lastly I added some little black gems to this. I was a little disappointed with the gems as the black ones don't sparkle as much as the other colour gems do and I think this is just because they are black.

This was a pretty manicure though and I will do it again in summer when it can be truly appreciated.

OPI Flashbulb Fuchsia and Crystals

This is one of my favourite colours of all time. Flashbulb Fuchsia from the OPI Brights collection. Its a bright beautiful shimmer - done in only 2 coats.

Outside in Sunshine

Today was the first time I ever tried using crystals on a NOTD.
I still only have one konad plate (M3) so here again is a picture from that.
I put the clear/silver crystals over the top of the spot in the middle of the flower.


I used OPI top coat as a glue and then sealed it all with another layer of top coat on top.
I really like this. It was so much easier to do than I thought it would be. A great way to make your nails sparkle with bling for very little effort time and money.
Although now I do feel obliged to wear this for a lot longer than I normally wear a polish for and at the moment I have only done one hand - so guess Ill be finishing my other hand now.

Lots of Love
