Nail of the Day: OPI "The Show Must Go On"

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

This is the nail polish that I am currently wearing on my nails. I bought this colour yesterday when i went out with my mother looking for Christmas presents. This colour is called OPI "The Show Must Go On" and its from the Burlesque Collection which recently came out.

I'd describe this colour as a deep coral-pink with gold duochrome. It looks like it has a foil finish on the nail and is really pretty.

The gold duochrome is a little more evident in the photo below

Most of the nail polishes I own are China Glaze and this is only the second OPI I have bought. OPI in Australia is normally $19.95 retail ($10.95 industry) as opposed to $12.95 retail ($6 industry) for China Glaze, but considering I LOVE duochrome nail polishes, I was willing to spend the extra money for this polish, which I am glad I did because I am very impressed with it.

Nail of the Day: China Glaze "Frostbite" and Starburst Blue Foil

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

This is another one of the foils that I purchased from Dollar Nail Art. This is a really pretty foil

This is how this particular foil turned out on my nails:

I would describe this foil as a royal blue foil with a starburst pattern covering the entire length of the foil. This pattern can also be seen in Gold Starburst foil. The starbursts then reflect teal, light and dark blue and green depending on which way the light hits it creating a holographic effect

As a base for this foil, I used China Glaze "Frostbite" which is a medium dark royal blue with blue shimmer.

Nail of the Day: China Glaze "On The Prowl" and Tanzanite Fire Foil

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

Here is another one of the trials of the foils I bought from Dollar Nail Art. This one is a bright purple holographic foil called Tanzanite Fire.

This is how the foil turned on my nails:

I'd describe Tanzanite Fire as a deep red based purple with a pattern on it resembling water in a pond. The ripple like effect on this foil reflects blue, purple, punk and red depending on where the light hits it creating a really pretty holographic reflect

As a base for this foil, I used China Glaze "On The Prowl" which looks like this:

Nail of the Day: China Glaze "Paper Chasing" and Green Lightbeams Foil

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

I have been gradually working my way through my nail foils that I bought from Dollar Nail Art trying them out one at a time. This one of the foils I tried out recently called Green Lightbeams.

This is what it turned out like:

Green Lightbeams is a an emerald green based foil with lines of holographic lightbeams along the width of the nail. The lightbeams reflect green, teal, blue and gold depending on how the light hits it. The following photo will show the foil in more detail:

As a base colour underneath the foil, I used China Glaze "Paper Chasing" which came out with the Kicks Collection ('09).

By applying "Paper Chasing" under the foil any gaps from where the foil didn't apply properly will be disguised.
