Nails I Love
NICOLE BY OPI – Sensational Scarlet
Hey Goddesses
I’ve been a bit
quiet this week, but boy am I about to make up for it! I’ve also received the most epic nail mail of
all epic nail mails AND The Muppets Collections and will post pics this
weekend.
Most of my amazing
polishes came from my favourite eBay shop, Boulder Creek Boutique. Janet always has HTF and just flippin AMAZING
polishes. She only lists a small portion
of what she sells, so she’s great for asking after certain lemmings – you can
find her store here - http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Boulder-Creek-Boutique?_trksid=p4340.l2563
So, my first polish
from Janet that I’m going to share with you is NOPI’s Sensational Scarlet which
MORE than lives up to its name. Why does
Scarlet sound so much more amazing than red ?
Lol, I dunno, but it dooooo J
This is a brilliant
ruby polish crammed with shattered holo glitter pieces. This catches the light like fairies on acid
and is soooooooo outright SENSATIONAL that it defies words. But I’ll still try.
In the bottle this
looks like pure crushed velvet. It’s the
colour of Christmas and the texture of magic.
It’s ruby jewels for your nails.
It’s liquid fire catching the light, and red volts firing off your
nails. It’s not just sensational, it’s
scandalously good.
The holo in this is
amazing. This is not a holo polish, but
a polish packed with holo glitter.
Mostly this burns crimson and fiery, but sometimes it flashes lilac,
sometimes white-hot, and sometimes it just SHINES. Sigh.
There are no words for how outrageously gifted this baby is.
I have had a REALLY
hard job trying to take photos that do her justice. Sensational Scarlet looks most amazing in
natural sunlight, and as it’s October and I’m in England …. Yeh, exactly. Under artificial light she also looks
amazing, but didn’t photograph amazing – she certainly doesn’t look that gritty
in real life. I’ve deliberately posted
some blurred shots, because it gives you a better idea of the holo effect of
the glitter.
There is some
grittiness – she’s rammed with glitter, after all – and I used 2 coats of Poshe
and then refused to use more! I may
just have to invest in some Gelous.
Perfect for
Christmas? Yes, but pretty much just
perfect, period.
Enjoy J

Top Tip – if you’re
ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give
you plenty of contrasts and compares.
