OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender

Lucky Lucky Lavender by OPI is the nail polish that started my OPI obsession. I had other OPI's and they were all great, but I hadn't fallen in love with the brand yet. I bought Lucky Lucky Lavender almost a year ago and haven't stopped buying OPI....

This nail polish is a shade in between pink and purple. Although it looks more pink in the photos, when you hold it next to an actual pink it definitely looks purple, but when you hold it next to a purple it looks pink! It's hard to place it in my nail polish collection since I have no shade like it!

The application was flawless. It's a creme polish but was a little sheer on the first coat. The second coat however completely covered it up. For the swatch I used two coats.  There was absolutely no streakiness and I didn't get any bald patches either. It was a dream to apply. I also didn't have to do any clean up.

I didn't add a top coat to the polish. It's super shiny on its own! However, I only wore it for 24 hours and I saw some chipping, so I would advise to add a top coat. It wasn't major chipping and no one would really see it unless they looked closely.

It's a beautiful nail polish for spring, although it's autumn here and I'm wearing it anyway!!

OPI Baby Please Come Home

The fourth nail polish from my eBay OPI haul is Baby Please Come Home, a liquid sands polish. I'm kind of late to the textured polish bandwagon, I bought my first one 2 months ago and fell in love with it. The thing I like most about the liquid sand is the glitter! It's jam-packed with glitter which makes it a super opaque nail polish.

Baby Please Come Home is a muted purple glitter. It isn't overly purple and sometimes definitely looks more silver than purple. The formula is beautiful. I used two coats of nail polish on my middle and ring finger and one coat on my index finger and pinky. Adding a second coat definitely enhanced the colour, but I quite like the look of just having one coat. It was dry to the touch incredibly quick. I'm very impatient when it comes to dry time and want to go and do stuff as soon as I'm finished painting.

Here's a comparison between It's Frosty Outside, Make Him Mine and Baby Please Come Home. Beside these other colours it definitely looks purple.
