OPI Best of the Best *swatches*

 EN:Hello, ladies! I'm back with a load of swatches and photos for you. Since it's the first time I'm ever using OPI nail polishes I'll share with you my first impressions. Best of the Best is a set consisting of

10 mini nail polishes (3.75 ml each) which costs £27.50. The first row is made of light colours and the second one has darker colours. 

Some of them were incredibly easy to apply and pigmented (Strawberry Margarita, Cajun Shrimp), others were a total mess: the first coat of some of the polishes(Alpine Snow, You don't know Jacques) was disastrous, streaky and uneven; however some of them turned out to be amazing colours with the second coat (Russian Navy, You Don't Know Jacques, Lincoln Park After Dark) while others remained a mess (yes Alpine Snow, I'm looking at you).

However I don't mind that, I wasn't going to use Alpine Snow on its own anyway. I think it's perfect for a classic french manicure if paired with Bubble Bath or Tickle My France-y.

The brush is pretty small so it can be quite a hassle applying this. Not to mention the fact that these are so small it's hard for me to grasp them and make sure I don't drop one on the floor.

Even so, I thinks sets like this are a good way of finding new colours and experimenting with nail polishes. My favourites are: Tickle My France-y, You Don't Know Jacques, Big Apple Red and Lincoln Park After Dark.



RO: Buna, dragele mele :) Revin cu postarea pe care v-am promis-o pe Facebook, cea cu swatchuri la noile mele oje OPI. Apropo, daca aveti cont pe FB si inca nu ati dat like paginii, va recomand sa o faceti (o gasiti in dreapta) pentru ca postez mereu acolo statusuri si fotografii si mi-ar placea sa primesc feedback de la voi. Plus ca este mult mai usor sa tinem legatura asa :)
Acum sa continui. Mi-am cumparat un set de 10 mini oje (3.75 ml) OPI care se numeste "Best of the Best" si a costat 144 RON (nu 180 cum am vazut prin unele locuri de la noi vandut). Randul de sus contine culorie deschise, iar cel de jos oje mai inchise la culoare.
Este prima data cand incerc ojele OPI asa ca voi impartasi cu voi si primele mele impresii despre ele :)
Sunt cateva care se aplica foarte usor si care sunt extrem de pigmentate (cum ar fi Cajun Shrimp sau Strawberry Margarita), in timp ce altele au fost un total dezastru: primul strat a fost plin de dungi si neuniform (aici vorbesc de Alpine Snow si You Don't Know Jacques), insa majoritatea dintre ele au devenit culori superbe dupa ce am aplicat si cel de-al doilea strat (YDKJ, Lincoln Park After Dark), insa Alpine Snow a ramas la fel de urat aplicata oricat am incercat sa acopar lucrul acesta.
Cu toate astea, nu ma deranjeaza, nu este o culoare pe care aveam de gand sa o port pe toata unghia. E perfecta pentru un french classic daca o combin cu Bubble Bath sau Tickle My France-y.
Pensula este cam micuta asa ca am avut ceva de munca atunci cand le-am folosit. Sa nu mai vorbesc de faptul ca fiind atat de mici mi-e greu sa le tin in mana cand le folosesc si mi-e frica sa nu le scap pe jos.
Chiar si asa, cred ca sunt o metoda buna de a descoperi noi culori si de a experimenta cu ojele. Preferatele mele sunt: Tickle My France-y, You Don't Know Jacques, Big Apple Red and Lincoln Park After Dark.
