NOTD: OPI More Than a Glimmer

OPI More Than a Glimmer (1 coat)
over OPI Pink-ing Of You (2 coats)
topcoat added

both from the 2013 Pink of Hearts duo for Breast Cancer Awareness

For this mani I started with 2 coats of Pink-ing Of You. Although the result was somewhat sheer and uneven, I figured that adding the glitter topper would cover those imperfections.

I found I got great glitter coverage with just one coat. Note that this glitter is made to dry matte...... but I decided I would rather have a smoother, shiny finish so I added a coat of NYC Grand Central Station as a topcoat.

The result was really pretty!

NOTD: nails inc. "Pinkie Pink"

I loved China Glaze Draped in Velvet so much that when I received the new nails inc. pinkie pink yeseterday I thought they would pair so well together!

China Glaze Draped in Velvet (2 coats) accented with nails inc. pinkie pink (1 coat) on my pinkie finger


I got great coverage of the pink glitter with just one coat! It's a bit of a topcoat eater, so I used a coat of Gelous before I did my fast-dry top coat. With the "accent nail" still be quite on-trend right now, I think it's neat that nails inc. used that trend to create a BCA shade and named it to match the trend. Of course, I usually see the accent nail done on the ring finger, but *love* the phrase "pinkie pink".
