OPI Last Friday Night & Sally Hansen Distressed Denim Crackle Overcoat

I've been having so much fun this week playing with all my new crackle polishes! I chose the combo today because my sister suggested I do it, so I did haha. I love how this turned out, I'm not super crazy about blue, but I really liked this one. I used 4 coats of O.P.I. Last Friday Night from the Katy Perry collection for the base color. It's really sheer no matter what, I'd probably only wear it as a layering polish, or under blue crackle of course.

This is very close to the true color of the crackle.

I was so pleased with the formula of this one! It was easy to apply and it cracked great, much better than the Vintage Violet one I used yesterday, which was also from Sally Hansen. IRL, this blue crackle is fairly dark and matches the color of the polish as it shows up in the bottle. It is not opaque, but I kind of like it because it won't completely cover up whatever base you decide to use with it.

More OPI Katy Perry Polish!

I actually did this mani last week and I'm glad I have something to show you guys because I'm still wearing my gorgeous teenage dream mani. I used OPI Not Like the Movies and stamped with Konad M57 in Konad black. When I first saw swatches of the color I wasn't too crazy about it because personally I like wearing bright colors, but after trying it out for myself, I ended up really liking it. It's a duochrome polish that appears purple, green, and silver at different angles. I tried taking a few different pics to show the different personalities of this polish.



Grr sorry my pictures are rotated for some odd reason.

OPI Teenage Dream & OPI Black Shatter

Whee I finally tried out OPI Teenage Dream from the Katy Perry collection and I have to say i LOVE it! It is pretty sheer, but I used 3 coats and it looks great. It dries really bumpy so a topcoat is needed. It's sooo sparkly though it's hard not to love it.





I decided to only use black shatter on half of the nail because Teenage Dream is so pretty I didn't want to cover it all up. I got the sideswipe idea from LOVE4NAILS on YouTube. She's able to do the sideswipe freehand, but for my mani I did use tape. I also added a line of silver glitter to add more sparkle!
