Manicure of the Week – MOTW

OpiLMEY&SHGI

Quick mixed post, Ladies – and, as the most MOTW posts, a short one.
Pimped OPI Let Me Entertain You (showed you a manicure with that amazing colour at my November faves post) with OPI Show It and Glow It!, a glitter laquer from the same collection, it´s the recently launched OPI Burlesque collection.

Easy 80ies stripes work; I like the asymetric effect and the glitter light-catching 🙂 Depending on the light the manicure appears different.

Then some of you asked for a swatch of a MAC Gelée, here it is. These tubes are not sold at MAC counters anymore. Furthermore I think the upcoming Lauder Gelées will be higher pigmented and more sticky than this lustre formula from MAC, so the products may not be comparable.

As you can see, the MAC Gelée has a quite sheer texture. Since the upcoming Estee Lauder Gelées containers have applicators they are supposed to be more covering.

If you have any further questions: Just ask 🙂

    1. sorry Tatjana….its your question
      But I am just giving her a tip from my side :))

      Rati….if using direct nail paint….u have to give a swift stroke to get a clean edge….requires steady hands and some practice
      Or else an easy method….after the base nail paint dries completely….you can use a cello-tape method…..to have perfect lines drawn…like how we use French tip stickers for French manicure :))

    2. Here´s the trick:

      I use adhesive Tape 😉 The only thing you have to care about is that the first colour layers are completely dry. Then apply the tape (you can do this several times to create different geometric patterns but be sure that the lays are really dry before applying the tape) – it helps you to get very straight lines :victory2: Let it dry down for a few minutes, remove the tape and go ahead with Top Coat – i would recommend a quick dry / fat dry / rapid dry one, this sets down the manicure birlliant and quick 🙂

      1. he he try it. They have lovely flavours but are super sticky. Best even if you end up hating it you won’t feel bad throwing it away as well. :secret2:

        1. I have them and i think its still lying it somewhere…its my first gloss and though i used to hate it for being sticky…i somewhere loved it..u always love everything first 😛

        2. I love sticky glosses 😀
          Guess I am one of the few beauties liking sticky texture… I like it due to the fact that the lip make-up lasts longer with a sticky gloss product. 8)

          1. yeah Tatjana. Sticky glosses last long. Actually I dont mind using them. They only time I hate the stickiness is when the wind is blowing and my hair tend to stick on my lips. 😮 😮 😮 😮

    2. The texture looks similar :highfive:
      So I am excited how the Lauder Glées will be like. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

      The MAC Lip Gelées are very good on top of lipsticks, liptints, lipstains and so on – due to the very jelly formula they appear very wet, gives a speicial look. I also like them as summer products for casual use 🙂

  6. wow….love those bright colors….. :-* :-*
    And the glitter gives an edge and transforms it to a chic party look :inlove:
    I love O.P.I nailpaints…..but not all shades available here plus they are so costly :(( 🙁 🙁
    I have only 2 in my collection so far :((

    Reply

    1. OPI ist quite expensive here, too.
      It´s 15 € a bottle and that´s the reason I order OPI (and other US polish brands) in the US – several ebay sellers offer them for very low price :))

      Reply

      1. yes thats a good alternative to buy expensive nail paints.
        which other brands you like for nail paints?
        I like Nail Inc. too :inlove: My frnd had got some shades from UK. But now I cant find them in India :((
        thats the problem here….not many brands
        I wish we had a Sephora store or Boots pharmacy here too.

      2. China Glaze has fair prizes and offers good quality.
        My fave nail polish brands are: NUBAR :heart: :heart: :heart: (check it out on .bynubar.com – their top coat is one of the best I ever used), Color Club (amazing texture and quality), OPI and, last but not least: MAC. I have a lot of China Glaze polishes as well. Another great rapid-dry top coat is the Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat – dries down even three or more lays quickly.

        For nail therapy I would recommend Nail Tek Hydration Therapy products, especially for beatuies having problems with chipping and peeling. Their base and top coats really hydrate the nails :yawn:

  9. Oh, I forgot to mention:
    Flash means: Studio flush plus cam-flush = double flush.
    I had a studio flush here for two days – but my cam is not good enough for this kind of light – got to buy a better one next year 😛
