OPI Glamour Game meets Essie As Gold As It Gets

Good morning!

no top coat

Here we have OPI's Glamour Game - an almost nude, pretty gold. This is on the thinner side, so it took me four coats to get rid of the nail line.

Because I am a glitter-aholic I added two coats of Essie's As Gold As It Gets from the Luxeffects line for more gold sparkle! This was very nice in real life, but I don't think the photos quite capture the glitter goodness. I think a darker base coat would show off the Luxeffects better.

I had intended this to be a light-color base for some nail art, but an unfortunate tape fiasco marred my plans :(
Oh well! Better luck (and technique) next time ;)
Have a lovely day!

Meet Me on the Star Ferry

Today I decided to go with something a little more 'seasonal', starting with OPI's Meet Me on the Star Ferry from the Hong Kong collection. I've had this color forever and had never worn it before.

no top coat

It's a pretty golden-plum shimmer, opaque in two coats... and it makes a lovely base for China Glaze's Tarnished Gold crackle!

I aimed for a 'medium' coat of Tarnished Gold and was really happy that all my nails cracked evenly! I have mixed emotions about crackle polishes these days, but I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out. What do you think?
