OPI Don't mess with OPI

Hello lovelies! It's a beautiful day over in my corner of the world, and I sure hope it's the same where you are! Today was the first day I went outside to take pictures in full sun. No more freezing in the window when there's a sunny but cold day. No more trying to catch some rays trough the window. Yay! 

Today is also the first post where I'm showing you my nubs. I still have some pictures with long nails to post and this is by no means in chronological order, but I wanted to get some green up on the blog since it's St. Patrick's Day. This is not a holiday we have in my country. It seemed a lot of fun to do something themed for it though, so I did some nail art which I will be showing you later. Until then, this is my base color. 

OPI Don't Mess with OPI in the sun (yay!) 
DMWO comes from last year's Texas collection and is the most perfect shade of medium green creme. It's not too dark, not too bright, just perfect! I got this over a year ago and have only worn it once until today. I was actually lemming for China Glaze Starboard and found this auction on ebay for the OPI. They are not the same but definitely close so I went for it. I ended up paying about 6$ for this, which is great for OPI in Europe. 


I have no idea why I kept postponing wearing this again. Application is a breeze and it's opaque in two coats. This was my first OPI and my first encounter with the ProWide brush. I remember that the polish went everywhere when I applied it. I'm happy to say that I've improved a lot and only had to do minor cleaning today. 


All pictures are without top coat. It dries to a very glossy finish. This is the perfect St. Patrick's Day polish! Stay tuned for some nail art!

    1. Thank you! It took some time adjusting to them. Whenever I go from long nails to nubs it makes me cry.
