OPI You're Such a Budapest

OPI You're Such a Budapest

3 coats

from the Spring 2013 Euro Centrale Collection

Spring! I went into my stash searching for a spring shade and found this one. Isn't it pretty? It did take 3 coats to be completely opaque.

OPI My Paprika Is Hotter Than Yours!

3 coats

from the 2013 Euro Centrale Collection

OPI says.....  Get the extinguisher…this fiery red is sizzling!

Although I did really like the color, I did NOT like that I needed 3 coats to get even coverage.  With 2 coats there were lots of sheer spots that I wasn't happy with.

OPI Girls Love Diamonds

OPI Girls Love Diamonds (4 coats)

from the Major League Baseball Fashion Plate Collection (Spring 2014)

This is so sheer... I did find I needed 4 thin coats to get close to covering my nail line.

YAY for baseball! Mr. Sasha got me the best early Mother's Day present- a subscription to MLB.com to watch all the Cubs games this season! So excited!

Essie Meet Me at the Altar

Essie Meet Me at the Altar

3 coats

from the 2013 Essie Bridal Collection

Meet Me at the Altar is a pastel lilac with a silver shimmer that is just barely noticeable in the sun, very similar to the shimmer in No Baggage Please. The silver shimmer is definitely more noticeable in the bottle. It too needs at least 3 coats, and probably 4 if you want complete opaque coverage. 

Essie No Baggage Please

Essie No Baggage Please

3 coats

from the 2013 Essie Bridal Collection

No Baggage Please is a pastel baby pink with a silver shimmer that just barely noticeable in the sun. The silver shimmer is definitely more noticeable in the bottle. It needs at least 3 coats, and probably 4 if you want complete opaque coverage. The pic above is just 3 coats because I get sort of stabby if I have to do 4. :-)

Essie My Better Half

Essie My Better Half

2 coats

from the 2013 Essie Bridal Collection

My Better Half is so pretty and was great color for my Easter mani! Beauty Junkies Unite described it as "medium peony pink base with slight peony pearl" and I think that's a great description. The first coat was somewhat sheer, but a second coat evened it out perfectly and made it opaque.

Essie Using My Maiden Name

Essie Using My Maiden Name

2 coats

from the 2013 Essie Bridal Collection

Using My Maiden Name is GORGEOUS and my nails look like little Easter eggs! I would describe it as periwinkle with a pink microshimmer. The first coat was somewhat sheer, but a second coat evened it out perfectly and made it opaque.
