Nicole by OPI: Carnival Cotton Candy (Carrie Underwood Collection)

Today I have pink polish to share.  I don't have a colour like this in my existing collection and it's pretty.  Also I just wanted something that was a bright bubblegum pink.  This is named after Cotton Candy but that's still very cute.  

I bought Carnival Cotton Candy at Shoppers Drug Mart for C$9.99.  I was lucky because it was on sale for $1 off, usually Nicole by OPI (NOPI) sells for $10.99 at Shoppers.

Thoughts
The colour itself is very pretty and bright.  It's been a very cold winter this year, so wearing this on my nails in February really brightened up my overall look.  Everyone complimented on my nails too.  Whatever I paint on my nails is really for myself, but when people compliment me, it feels good. :)

The formula is medium thick.  I think I should try a different way of painting my nails when I use NOPI because it seems that I don't wait long enough so when I paint it seems like there is a a little bit of build up near the cuticle area and then I have some streaks but it's not the polish itself that is streaky.  For most of my nails 2 coats was enough but some nails I had 3 coats.

I should make a note that I wore this from Sunday until Saturday.  There was minimum chipping.  Only my pinkie finger, so that was great.  


Breakdown
Basecoat: Seche Base

I bought NOPI Carnival Cotton Candy at Shoppers Drug Mart for C$9.99.  As mentioned before, usually it's $10.99 at Shoppers.  I can't find the Carrie Underwood collection at Wal-Mart but NOPI is also $9.88 at Wal-Mart.  I held this colour near other pink colours that were similar to this shade but I liked this one the best.
