Happy April Fools day!
So today I have a pink look. Lately I've been wearing a lot of pinks. So, this seems to be going with my trend.
I have done an accent nail because I've never worn a england's She Walks in Beauty before.
Thoughts
I have always loved OPI's Panda-monium Pink. This is the first OPI product that I bought at a salon. It's also my second bottle of OPI ever. My first is OPI Who Needs a Prince, but I bought that on ebay. Even though I have a lot left of Panda-monium Pink, I feel like I'm on a quest to replace it since this is a discontinued colour. I did find that I need a lot a product in order to have a nice application. I'm sorry for showing this since it's not available in the salons anymore. However, I still wanted to share my look. Cause there's always similar colours out there.
A England She Walks in Beauty is really pretty. There's a bit of a texture to this because of the glitter. It's fine gold glitter with pink dot and medium hexagon glitter. The gold is really sparkly and pretty. I think in most lighting, the gold really does over power the pink. You have to look really closely to notice the pink glitter. It is very pretty though.
Application isn't a problem. It's not buttery smooth like the holos but this is a glitter polish so it should be expected. I just want to also add that I used this by itself, and it's pretty pigmented. The gold foil like base is very dominant. If you want to use this as a glitter top coat, I would just note that it might cover your base colour. Also, I would watch out what I would use as a base colour. For example it would like good with beige, pink, nude. If you use green or blue, it would probably cover a lot of the base and add a gold foil with pink glitter. So if you wanted it frosted at the tops or as a half moon, just note that the base is already pretty strong.
Overall, I like how these two work together. Panda-monium Pink is a light pink so it doesn't draw attention too much because all the attention is to the accent nail. Also this pink is similar to the pink glitter in A England She Walks in Beauty.
