Swatch and Review - OPI You Callin' Me A Lyre? + OPI Which is Witch

Hello! It's Friday! I feel like this week has literally flown past. It seems like just yesterday it was Monday..... Today I'll be showing my favourite sheer+glitter combination, a more recent find of mine, OPI You Callin' Me A Lyre with OPI Which is Witch on top. I honestly love it so much, I was staring at my nails last night. With the white light from my nightlight, it just made this polish look like it was glowing. It really reminds me of pink fairy dust. I've actually worn this now for the fourth day. I just cannot bear to take it off. LOVE! OPI You Callin' Me A Lyre is a sheer, milky pink from last year's New York City Ballet Collection. I used two coats of this. Then, after the polish fully dried, I added one coat of OPI Which is Witch from the Oz The Great and Powerful Collection. It is a holographic glitter combination with micro, hexagonal, and tiny bar glitters suspended in a thick, clear base. The thicker base makes application of this polish even and effortless. Judging from the bottle, I expected this polish to be extremely dense and sparkly, but actually, it ended up being a very soft and dainty glitter that was both sparkly while being elegant. So pretty. 

What I used:

Base Coat: 1 coat of Pro FX Epoxy Bond Base Coat
Polish: Two coats of OPI You Callin' Me A Lyre with 1 coat of OPI Which is Witch
Top Coat: 1 coat of INM Out The Door Dry Fast Top Coat

I also wanted to show you a bottle shot of OPI Which is Witch. This picture really shows the holographic glitters in the polish. It truly is magnificent. Amazing!

Thank you so much for reading, hope you enjoy your day! Smile!

Nail Art - Multi Coloured Polka Dot Manicure

Hello! I wanted to share with you another nail art post.... polka dots! I think this manicure is so fun and versatile, you could have multi coloured dots on a colourful background for a fun, easy-going look like I had, or gold dots on a neutral beige base for a more simple, elegant, office appropriate look. So versatile, you could easily change and switch the colours for your preferences and create a totally different style. I do have to give credit for MissJenFABULOUS on YouTube, she has a tutorial on her called "Cute and Easy Polka Dot Manicures". I used her third design in the video,  I've also done her second design, I will also post that in the near future. 

I created this design starting with Essie Fiji as my base. Then, I used Essie Fifth Avenue, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Lickety-Split Lime, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Blue-Away, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Pronto Purple, and Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Terracotta. After placing my dots how MissJenFABULOUS showed, I decided I wanted a little bling, so I added OPI Which is Witch on two or three of the dots on each nail. The extra sparkle really pulled the manicure together and gave it more of a nail applique (a.k.a nail sticker) look. Awesome! Let's get on with the manicure...

Left to Right: OPI Which is Witch, Essie Fiji (Base), Essie Fifth Avenue, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Lickety-Split Lime, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Blue-Away, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Pronto Purple, Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Terracotta

What I used:

Base Coat: 1 coat of Pro FX Epoxy Bond Base Coat
Polish: 2 coats of Essie Fiji as base, 1 coat each of polishes used for polka dots
Top Coat: 1 coat of INM Out the Door Dry Fast Top Coat

I think this design is perfect for summer, but you can easily switch the colours I used for this design for darker colours during the autumn and winter. Thank you for reading and have a great day!
