Hello DOLLS!
Lacquer
strips have been huge lately in the wide world of NAILS (not sports, sorry
boys). There are SO many brands to choose from right now and to make matters
MORE confusing, OPI just released their own line. So before I went to get my
nails done for the Kentucky Derby I knew I needed something that would stand
out in a big way to go with my dress and hat. So to Ulta I went with a mission to find the perfect nail look for Derby weekend!
I was SO impressed
with all the many pretty patterns OPI has out in their nail lacquer strips. The
one I picked for the Derby is a mixture of silver glitter, pink, black, red, and blue. They were around $12 from Ulta.
My amazing
nail technician had a lot of positive things to say about OPI’s version of nail
lacquer strips. She mentioned they were MUCH softer than the ones I used by
Betsey Johnson (click HERE for that post) meaning they conformed to my nail shape and stuck to my nails much better. Overall they were easier to apply. However she said
they were about the same quality as far as she could tell as the Sally Hensen
ones. I was VERY happy with the results…they are just as shiny as regular nail
polish! I am interested to see how long they last. The Betsey Johnson ones
started to chip after a couple of days but a top coat was not used…this time we
used a top coat so hopefully the OPI strips will last longer! Here is how they
turned out:
I wanted a
hot pink color for my toes to blend in with my nail polish so I went with "That's Berry Daring." To make my toes
tie in even BETTER with my nails, my nail technician decided to put silver
glitter polka dots on top! Here is how they turned out….
