Here are some random pictures of the OPI colors that I swatched.. and their descriptions after the jump break.

From Left to Right:
Miami Beet-
Pompeii Purple- Beautiful fushia pink with a purple flash. Less vibrant and softer than Shellac's "Tutti Frutti". I did have some issues applying this color. It tends to shrink from the cuticle a little and free edge. So now to achieve a more solid and even color I use "Pink Flamenco" as a base and then add "Pompeii Purple" on top of it.
Princesses Rule- Shimmery, sparkly, fresh pink. A dream to apply. It's very light but the amount of shimmer/sparkle makes it quite opaque.
A Grape Fit- Gorgeous, bright, summery color. Medium purple, creme/pastel finish. It goes on very nice, doesn't streak. I think the GelColor version is a little lighter than the polish version.
Louve Me, Louvre Me Not-
OPI Ink- Dark purple with pink shimmer. Looks almost black on the nail. Applies nicely but I tend to do 2 nails at a time to avoid shrinking (which is visible with such dark color). VERY popular color. Must have!
I'd be interested in your opinion on Miami Beet as I find it horrible ot apply and I get shrinkage with it. I want to love it, but the application just looks awful when it's on ...
ReplyDeleteSame applies to Louvre Me..

I have used it since I wrote this post and you are right.
ReplyDeleteI have the same issues as you :(
Since the summer I have switched exclusively to shellac. I have very consistent results with Shellac so I'm sticking with it
