OPI Lincoln Park After dark swatches

OPI Lincoln Park After Dark is a purple so close to black that it just as well could have been a black with a purple hue – or maybe it is.

The application is easy, the dry time is good, and here you have two coats (one would probably been enough) – no top coat.

Floral French nail art on Piu Mosso

The base color is RBL (Rescue Beauty Lounge) Piu Mosso, see swatches HERE!
As I was a bit disappointed about how subtle the copper shimmer in it was, I thought to myself: copper fowers :) – so I painted a floral French with my acrylic colors, and the top coat is Seche Vite.

What do you think..?

OPI Lincoln Park After Dark and Lincoln Park After Dark Suede comparison

As promised when I swatched Lincoln Park After Dark Suede, click HERE - here is a comparison...
OPI Lincoln Park After Dark - index and pinkie - and Lincoln Park After Dark Suede - middle and ring finger.

As you can see the difference is dramatic, and find it a bit puzzling that OPI chose to name these as a normal and a Suede version of Lincoln Park After Dark.

Ah well, there are so much I do not understand – and in any case they looked quite OK worn together like this!

I'll show separate swatches of the "normal" version of OPI Lincoln Park After Dark tomorrow morning...

Daisy nail art

The base color is one single coat of Too Fancy Laquer Tell Me A Sea-cret, see swatches HERE - and I went for a simple fabric-like pattern with flower petals painted with acrylic craft colors. Before I top coated with Seche Vite I added a coat of Northern Light Hologram Top Coat Silver.

Do you like this simple nail art?

Jessica swatches: King Tut's Gem and Lime Cooler

Jessica King Tut’s Gem is a vibrant, medium blue with a subtle, pretty shimmer. Two coats are enough, but the flash made my ridged shine through, so this is three coats without a top coat.

Lime Cooler:

Jessica Lime Cooler is from the Gelato Mio collection summer 2012.

Lime Cooler is a light spring green without too much yellow, and that makes it a pretty pastel green (not mint or lime) in my book. The formula is nice to work with, it goes on just a tad streaky in the first coat, but the second coat leaves you with a lovely finish.

Do you like them - and do you have a favorite..?

Exuberant floral French nail art

The base color is Chanel Rose Exuberant 519, see swatches HERE, and before I painted my nail art in acrylic craft colors I added a coat of inm Northern Light Hologram Top Coat Silver. The top coat is Seche Vite.
