NOTD: Lady Like

After braving darker nail shades for a week or two I was once again drawn to my beloved Opera Ballerina. Opera Ballerina is my drug of choice but instead of wearing it in all its plain glory I thought it was about time for a french mani.

Products Used:

O.P.I Ridge Filler

O.P.I Alpine Snow

L'Oreal Opera Ballerina

Nails Inc Kensingtone Caviar Top Coat

I'm coming to the end of my O.P.I Ridge Filler now so it's started to go all thick, gloopy and streaky which then makes any sheer colour added on top look streaky (you can kind of notice it in the photos) so if anyone knows of a good milky base coat please let me know in the comments.

What's on your nails today? :)

Swatch It Baby.

Aloha!

Most of my posts have been nail related lately... and heres another one.

Leighton Denny - Passion

'The classic sophisticated red. Epitomises style and glamour.'

This has to be my fav red ever! The above photo is from http://www.leightondenny.com/ but the swatch photos are my own. Passion needs to be seen in person, it's a gorgeous jelly raspberry, blood, red colour. Super glossy and perfect in 2 coats.

With Flash

Ignore my bleached out fingers from the flash, and the blue at the side of my baby finger is the remains from my cack handed attempt at nail art.

The shade is darker in real life and would suit any skin-tone. It annoys me when colours dont come across true in photos.

Without Flash

If you're looking for a really glossy, in your face red polish for winter, you cant go wrong with this one.

I used:

 O.P.I Ridge Filler as a base

2 coats of Leighton Denny - Passion

Nails Inc Caviar Topcoat

Leighton Denny polishes are £11 each. If you can, get them in a set, it works out so much cheaper and you get the chance to try colours you maybe wouldnt have picked normally.
