OPI Kiss Me I'm Brazilian is, as you'd expect from something with that name and from the "Brazil Collection", the kind of pink that just sings summer. It's a bright, bordering on neon, Barbie pink. So naturally, I love it.
I always like using OPI cream formulas, and this one is particularly good, it just seems to glide on so easily. I find that almost all the OPI cream formulas tend to level out well and dry slowly enough to allow for a few extra brush strokes to even out any iffy brushstrokes without dragging. The really great thing is you can add second coats and third coats in fairly rapid succession without creating a manicure that never dries. (I'm looking at you Essie) Don't you hate those?! This polish actually only required two coats, and you'd possibly get away with only one if your application was extremely careful. As I mentioned last Monday, I'm making an effort to do more nail art again. So, sticking to my word, I got out China Glaze I'm Not Lion and the nail tape for a little playtime.

So what do you think of the results? I love it, and whilst it's certainly not a subtle manicure, I think it's perfect for summer and my mini-break by the pool this week....don't hate me too much please! ;)
Did you try any of the OPI Brazil Collection polishes? (You can see them here on OPI.com) I also really like the look of the Taupeless Beach and Don't Bossa Nova Me Around, which are both much more neutral grey/taupe shades. Which would be your pick?
pretty!! I love what you did with the nail tape. And that color is amaaaazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks doll, isn't it just so perfect, especially for those residing in tropical countries ;) hehe x
DeleteGorgeous colour combination, the pink shade is stunning, I love OPI polishes, I have quite a few in my collection they have such a fab shade range :)

Yes, OPI is my favourite brand. I love their range of colours, on the whole amazing formulas, and the relatively cheap price, (if you order from the US via Beautyzone2007 on ebay anyway!).
DeleteThanks for stopping by lovely. Have a nice weekend x
I love your nail design. Really cute! (:
ReplyDeleteLove these, they're so gorgeous especially for summer and the colours compliment each other so well.

Oh my goodness you're so talented! I could never do something like this, well done! I never really bother with my nails as they always end up getting chipped in the pool (public pool, I wish I had my own though!) but now I can't go swimming for a while I might have a play with the new OPI travel set my mum got me :) xxx

The OPI mini sets are so cute, definitely have a play! :) If you have problems with chipping then I'd recommend you get a really good top coat, they can make all the difference. I use Seche Vite or OPI Top Coat and usually my nails are chip free until I choose to re-do - approx 4-5 days but sometimes longer!

This is such a beautiful manicure! Loving the gorgeous photography too! x
ReplyDeleteI love the shade of that pink!! Really like how you've done your nails here, especially the stripes they look gorgeous :) I've never tried OPI nail polishes before, and I'm not really too sure why!! I'm loving the look of I Just Can't Cope-acabana. X

Thanks hun. Nope, not stickers. That's the nail tape. I just used two colors and alternated. Took a bit of time to get them even but the effects worth it I think ;)
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great weekend hun x
I love it. Such a simple but very pretty look and I bet it looks lovely in the sun x
