Hello lovelies,

Hope you're all well! It's very cold, rainy and windy here in UK but at least it's not snowing...  today I have here a Nicole By OPI Mer-Maid For Each Other which is one of the Target exclusives for this Fall. It's available now for $7.04 each at select Target locations nationwide and online at Target.com

Mer-Maid For Each Other - duochrome green shifting to golden-green and blue. I really like duochrome polishes and this one is not an exception. The colour change is bold enough which makes the polish interesting. Application was easy but I did experience streaks. I had to paint carefully to get a reasonably nice finish. The strong streaking ruined the whole experience for me a bit but if you can get over it you'll have a lovely polish. The pigmentation was really good as well, I'm wearing two coats. It dried fast and the removal was easy and I'm not wearing topcoat.

Hello lovelies,

I love colourful manicures and this one is just spot on! It's a rainbow sponge gradient finished off with black lace foil.

Firstly I've painted my nails with OPI Alpine snow which makes the colours nice an vivid. Then I've used a corner of a makeup sponge to apply following polishes: China Glaze Sunshine Pop, China Glaze For Audrey, OPI Dutch 'Ya Just Love OPI?, China Glaze Dance Baby, China Glaze Poinsettia. I purposely went for a grainy look otherwise I would paint stripes of colours on the sponge to achieve more blended look. I've sealed the colours with a coat of Seche Vite topcoat.

When it all dried I've applied a thin layer of foil glue and let it dry. Then I applied a black lace pattern foil (I got mine from Rio Beauty) and sealed again with topcoat. Lace foils are a bit problematic as sometimes they don't stick properly. I found the result good enough this time :)

Hope you like it!
