I was wanting to try out a raspberry toned manicure for new
years eve nail practise, and decided to start with ‘From
A to Zurich’ from the OPI Swiss
collection from 2010. The shade is a dark rose berry shade that seems red in
some swatches I’ve seen. It is more of a raspberry on me, and I was wearing a
raspberry pink cardigan when I applied this and it went nicely with it.
I
decided to try out one of the glitter polishes that Fashion Addict sent me, and
I love the unusual mix of colours that Confetti Conga* contains. Burnt orange, blue,
hot pink and purple along with silver micro glitter is suspended in a
clear base, and I used only a small amount on my ring fingers to jazz up my manicure
a little bit.
I must admit that though I am partial to a dense opaque
glitter polishes, this sort of glitter is something I’m really glad to have in
my collection. I am planning on pairing this with a burnt orange or hot pink
polish next, to really take advantage of the glitter inside. I love the name of
both of the polishes I’ve used, there is nothing worse than loving a shade and
it having just a number or forgettable name.
I don’t think this type of glitter goes perfectly with the
rosey shade, but I was still happy with the manicure and think I will wear From
A to Zurich with a red glitter next time, and Confetti Conga with an orange
base.
OPI is available from David Jones, Myer and Petra stores for $19.95. Confetti
Conga and other BYS shades are available from $3.75 from Fashion Addict.
What would you pair with these two shades?
*Confetti Conga was kindly sent to me by Fashion Addict.
Confetti Conga looks pretty paired with ur polish ..
ReplyDeleteI definitely wanna get me some Confetti Conga. Love the sparkles!
ReplyDeleteI love the color of that OPI polish :)
ReplyDeleteI love the combination of the raspberry red and the sparkle... really pretty :)
Its so common that we pair glitter with black or other dark colors so that the glitter will stand out more but I think it looks just as good and sometimes even better to pair it with other colors :)
That red colour is so pretty! I think that glitter polish would look great on a pink or gold base coat :)
ReplyDeleteI think they look great together!
ReplyDeleteThat colour is gorgeous, Emma! :) I really like OPI polishes but went a tad overboard with the 007 ones which you may've seen, lol!
ReplyDeleteI have considered getting the Japanese collection but it's sold now that I think it's going to be a hard task... If I can ,a age to get them, where to store them is another issue lol!
Hope your 2013 is off to a good start. Hope to seeya in Feb! :)
