I'm finally clearing the dust and cobwebs off the polish section of this blog with OPI Nantucket Mist! I didn't buy it but I did choose it for my first manicure so I took some shots of it to remember it! Also, since my polish sister wants to see it so badly, here goes!
The manicurist painted 2 coats of Nantucket Mist and one coat of Seche on top. I think she used an OPI base coat though I'm not sure which one.
Somehow, when the manicurist painted on the S
eche top coat, it caused a lot of bubbling on the surface! See below!
This is after 4 days of wear! Only that chip on my middle finger. This was in the day.
However, at night, the chipped worsened and it peeled! I'm not kidding.
So I took off the polish for the first 2 fingers and painted them with China Glaze IV, which I heard was a dupe. This picture was taken on the first day of my
mani and hence, all fingers were still painted
with Nantucket Mist. I'm holding the CG IV bottle for comparison though.
Right, here we go, pinkie and ring finger are painted with Nantucket Mist while middle and index fingers have CG IV on. Clearly, IV is
much pinker. It also went on
soooooo much sheerer. It took almost 4 coats to get it opaque and even so, it still went on a little
streaky.
Again, here, IV is so much pinker than Nantucket Mist so they're really not dupes!
I'm really liking Nantucket Mist because it's pink and yet it's still a little peachy! Perhaps salmon would be a good word to describe the colour. It's got just the right amount of pink in it to make me feel girlie but again, it's not too bimbotic! It has also been rather easy to match with my clothes, although my clothes tend to be black or white these days! Hope you like the pictures!
