OPI Shine for Me

OPI Shine for Me

(3 coats)

 

from the Fifty Shades of Grey collection

  

 

 

Shine for Me is the second shade from the right in the mini collection and is the only glitter. It's a really pretty mix of silver and two different shades of blue glitter. It got good coverage with 3 coats,  although coverage towards the tips was a bit sparse as some glitters tend to do. It's super cold here today, so don't mind my red fingers- my skin turns red quick in the cold!

Romantically Involved is the third shade from the left in the mini collection and is the only red. It's actually the only "color" as everything else is a shade of grey! Ha! It has good coverage and I didn't have any application problems at all. I wouldn't say it's anything special, but it's a nice red nonetheless.

My Silk Tie is the first shade on the left in the mini collection and is the only frosty shade. Brush strokes are unavoidable, and this shade is not at all unique. I found two coats left behind some patchy spots, but wasn't bothered enough to add a third coat.

Embrace the Grey is the fourth shade from the left in the mini collection and is the middle color of the three grey shades. I think it looks a little darker on the nail, as some greys tend to do. As with Cement the Deal, I had a bit of trouble getting opaque coverage with just two coats, so I added a third and was pleased. This shades suits my skintone a bit better... I felt like Cement the Deal gave me lobster hands.

Cement the Deal is that last shade on the right and is the lightest of the crème shades. I think it looks a little darker on the nail, as some greys tend to do. I had a bit of trouble getting opaque coverage with just two coats, so I added a third and was pleased.

Dark Side of the Mood is the darkest grey in the set (second from the left in the mini set). It's got an almost imperceptible shimmer in it that's only visible in direct sunlight, and even then, you need a macro shot to see it. Still, it's so pretty!

I found it to be quite watery and found myself with some sheer patches even after three careful coats. I added a fourth, but if you look closely at my ring finger above, you can still see a sheet spot near the cuticle. There was no chance of me adding a fifth coat, so I called it good. Only a nail-crazy person like me (or you since you are reading this blog!) would probably notice. :-)
