NEW O.P.I Diamonds !

O.P.I have some new polishes out that looks amazing !
This is called diamonds ! 

So here I will show you how to apply them properly and colours it goes well with. 

Ive started off with a natural nail and coated it in start to finish by O.P.I 

I then applied a thin coat of O.P.I 'Play til Midnight' in long thin strokes.

I waited a few seconds before applying the second coat. If you are painting your own nails you wont need to wait as by the time to reach your final nail the first one will be dry. 

Finally I applied the diamond nail coat, this one is called O.P.I 'pirouette my whistle' and it only requires a thin coat but you can keep brushing til the bigger glitter pieces are all over the nail plate.

I finished off the design with O.P.I start to finish  to give it a shine!

Below is some different colour designs you could try 

these are O.P.I 'off with her red'

and O.P.I 'heart throb'

 You could use any colour underneath but O.P.I is my favourite.

There is also other diamond designs available by O.P.I

O.P.I Nail polish - staying power !

I have been testing O.P.I Nail Lacquer to see how long it lasts and if it chips or smudges at all. 

I have used O.P.I for a few years now and have always thought it is one of the best polishes out there in the professional world but I have never actually tested it out so here it is, THE TEST ! 

The nails below are just after being polished

To apply I prepared the nails with O.P.I start to finish polish

I then applied 2 thin coats of O.P.I 'purple with a purpose'

and finished off with a clear top coat of O.P.I start to finish polish.

 These nails below are after a week!

This particular client works on computers so uses a keyboard everyday and is also a house wife doing general house hold chores everyday.

As you can see only the end of the middle nail has chipped and they have lost there shine a little.

I think these nails have lasted extremely well and have proved my theory as O.P.I is a brilliant nail polish.
