Sephora by OPI - Who Let The Dorks Out + China Glaze's Golden Enchantment

Pretty simple mani. Wanted to try one of my OPI polishes I had been hoarding for months without using. The teal blue is pretty gorgeous, seems to have very slight purple-y undertones. Adding the golden holographic-ish glitter on top, this is a pretty subtle summer manicure.

I was trying to make this last a week, so about 5 days in I put Sinful Colors - Hottie on top of it as well. I'll post those pictures last.


Blurry, but it shows the holo aspect a bit better.

OOO shiny.

Indoor lighting, bt this was after I added Sinful Colors - Hottie on top. My cuticles
look a bit strange, I think I may have pushed them up a bit recently. IMO
the Sinful polish didn't really add too much to it.

Tokidoki Nail Confetti (SANdy) + Sephora by OPI's Caribbean Cocktail




I'm rather indifferent on the tokidoki confetti glitter. I don't love it, I don't hate it. Verging on liking it a lot, though. The only thing I really disliked was the fact I needed to file my nails down just a little due to the confetti sticking off the tips and becoming a little sharp after the top coat. That's probably my biggest complaint.

Seems to be various micro glitters in it, under the actual confetti glitter (I'm wanting to say it's pink micro glitter?). Which is mostly gold, with random blue and green ones as well. I decided to pair it with a matching blue shimmer Sephora color. Which I wish I had chosen a lighter color to see how well this confetti glitter showed up, but that may be for another post.

Application was nice, though even with a thick top coat the tops of my nails were just a LITTLE rough. Not bad enough to warrant a complaint, just mildly annoying.

Overall, the effect reminded me of ripped gold. It was almost elegant looking really. I like it, and I hope to get the rest of the Tokidoki polishes over time. (At $10 a pop at Sephora, this will be awhile.)



Also was fairly hard to photograph, the sun kept wanting to dull it down
a little bit. The blue was much brighter. I didn't seem to get a lot of
good pictures of it. They looked better on the camera.
