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.
