I only ever used to wear a standard colour on my
nails and whenever I jumped slightly out of my comfort-red-zone I never really
stuck to the colours nor did I actually paint my nails that often. Over the
past year I have been slowly stocking up on go-to nail polishes.
OPI – Start to finish base & top
coat
I have purchased this about three times now. I love
that you can use both as a base and a top coat because it means I can carry
more colours with my when I travel.
OPI – Passion
I would normally wear this pale colour when my
outfit is really vibrant or if I don’t want my hands to distract too much from
my outfit. This is the kind of colour I would use if I had a job interview. I
also prefer to use this when I’m planning on wearing red lipstick on a night
out so my hands and face don’t clash.
OPI – Just a little rösti at this at
this
This super dark red/wine colour only really comes
out around autumn/winter but I use it throughout the year for my toenails are
feeling naked. I’m actually trying to find a red which falls between this
colour and the super vibrant Russian Roulette (N°61) by Essie.
OPI – Feelin’ hot-hot-hot
This was my it-colour last summer. I wore it almost
every day and you can see it on my nails from this post here. It’s very vibrant
so if I’m having a bit of a crappy or down day I’ll pop on this bright pink and
it usually instantly lifts my mood.
Chanel – Distraction
This is the most recent nail polish I have
purchased and so far it’s my favourite! It appears ever so slightly pearly
through the glass, a characteristic which is hardly noticeable once applied but
when the light shines on it has that extra twinkle. I was a little skeptical
about buying a 22EUR nail polish but I figured that since I’m now more
interested in nail maintenance it would be worth it. This coral colour is a bit
more subtle than the pink but it still adds that vibrant “pop” to an outfit.
Do guys have any suggestions which I could try out?
(not only OPI!) – I would love to know about your favourites.
Thanks so much for your opinions on the boots by the way! The beige pair are definitely starting to grow on me now haha.
