For those impatient nail painters...

MY FIRST EVER OPI! Wow, I was so excited to finally get one. I dont know about other people around the world, but where I live OPI is VERY expensive. It was $20 for one bottle, and Ive been thinking about purchasing an OPI for MONTHS!

My attempt to show you how pretty the coloyr is, its got little flecks of shiny stuff. I call it 'stuff' because I dont think its glitter as such.

Normally lighting, LOVE the colour. It is 'Bay Bridge Sunset'


I'm not too sure whether this was a 'wise' choice for a first OPI polish but im loving it :)

Now to the star of this blog post....

I also bought this OPI RapiDry Spray Nailpolish Dryer. When it comes to drying my nails, im the most impatient person around. I end up always chipping/grazing or doing something to it that it ends up lookin like a mess! All that precious time wasted when applying the polish.

So when I saw this I thought it was a sign. Its better to invest in something which will prevent all the smudging and ruining your perfect set of nails right? Well thats the theory I used when I purchased this. It cost $18 (yes very pricey). So I tried it out, and I even made a video on how I used it and how fast the drying time was BUT for some reason it refuses to load :(. But I will try put it up later if I can.

So what do I think about this product? Well, it IS BRILLIANT! It is absolutely fantastic for those of you who just cant wait for those nails to dry. It dries in around 1 min (estimated time). It smells great (not sure if thats something you look for) and the spray is nice and 'misty' so covers the nail properly.

My rating for this product would be 5/5 stars!

It is a definite life saver (in terms of painting my nails) and I dont think I will ever look back!

Look out for the video of how I used this product + how long it actually took to dry!

Keep smiling :)

Nicole by O.P.I.



I recently tried the collection by OPI. Going from the top to the bottom, the first shade is called "First Crush Blush", second is called "It's Possible" and third is a top coat.

First Impressions
I always found the OPI range quite pricey, so by investing in these nailpolishes I had very high expectations. The moment I put the shade on, it wasnt what it looked like in the bottle. Application was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. After drying, the colour became dull and had a matt finish to it (which I didnt like). The top coat promises no chipping, which I think is false. There was no 'wow' factor in this nailpolish which would want me to go back for another shade.

Few Coats from now...
After trying the shades on a few more times, my first impression has not changed. I still don't think it is worth the money paid for.

Rating
I would rate these polishes 1.5/ 5 stars
