Summer Dotticure

Welcome back!

A couple of days ago, I posted a picture of this manicure on Instagram. So here are the details! If you haven't checked out my Instagram, you can find it here.

Green: Nicole by OPI Lay It On the Lime from their "Seize the Summer" collection
White: Salon Perfect Sugar Cube
Black: Salon Perfect Oil Slick

This was easy to do. After painting my nails black, I put white dots on top. When those dots were completely dry, I put the lime color on top of the white dots. The white base helps the green show up true to color, and makes it look better. It will match the other nails better, because it can be hard to get a true to color dot on top of black polish.

Thanks for reading! <3

OPI Brazil Collection Review: Part 2!

I'm back with part two of the review of the OPI Brazil Collection!

I'm  OPI Scores A Goal
Coats: 2-3
Color Family: Brown
Formula: Cream
Surprisingly, I liked this color. I am not a big fan of nudes or browns on my nails. It was definitely brown, but in some lighting, you could see a wine colored undertone to it. I think that's what made this polish different and special to me. When I first applied one coat, I did not like it. It looked bad, and then I put on the second coat. It made it look so much better then!

I São Paulo Over There
Coats: 2
Color Family: Nude
Formula: Cream
Unfortunately, this one did not make me feel the same as OPI Scores a Goal. I just do not like nudes, so they have to be something special for me to like it. The formula was good, but I couldn't wait to take this color off. I definitely have a polish very similar to it, and it is by e.l.f., so it only costs a dollar or two.

Taupe-less Beach
Coats: 3
Color Family: Taupe/Nude
Formula: Cream
This one was a better nude color for me personally. I did like this one better than I Sao Paulo Over There, and it was lighter. It's still probably not something that I would commonly reach for, but for those who like nudes, I think it was pretty.

Don't Bossa Nove Me Around
Coats: 3
Color Family: Nude
Formula: Cream
This color was gorgeous! I loved it. It had this beautiful sheen to it. It reminded me of Don't Honk Your Thorn from China Glaze's City Florish collection, but had less sparkle to it. Since this one was lighter, and had a sheen to it, I can handle this nude better than most.

Next Stop...the Bikini Zone
Coats: 3
Color Family: Duochrome
Formula: Metallic
This duochrome polish had purple and gray tones to it. I liked it alright. The first coat that I applied was very sheer, but it looked much more opaque once I had three coats. However, I found some spots in it when I was taking my pictures. This was the first duochrome that I've tried, and I unfortunately wasn't a huge fan of it. I'm not sure if it was this one in particular, or all duochromes. It does make me want to try more, though.

Amazon Amazoff
Coats: 3
Color Family: Blue
Formula: Jelly
I loved this polish. It was great. I tried it during a swatch, instead of wearing it as a full manicure. I didn't want to take it off, though! It was so opaque, but still looked squishy, like a true jelly. It was so smooth, applied easily, and looked smooth, too. My only complaint about this polish is the color and collection it was released with. Because I felt that this was more of a fall color, than a spring or even summer color.


Overall, I loved the collection. They were good formulas, and I liked the colors. I just didn't feel that they were all spring colors.
