Operation OPI Update
 |
| Day 1 |
How did I fare? Read on to see!
 |
| Day 3 |
The manicure was faring quite well by Day 3. There were no chips or obvious tip wear, only a few surface scratches.
 |
| Day 5 |
By Day 5, there was some minor tip wear from typing. There was no peeling or lifting.
 |
| Day 7 |
Day 6 saw the first of the lifting occur and I hold my hands up and admit that yes, I absentmindedly picked two nails before I realised what I was doing. Other than my own self-induced destruction, nothing too terrible had happened by Day 7. Minor tip wear on both hands and a substantial chip off my left thumb but, had I not picked, this manicure would have survived another three or so days before needing to be removed.
Pretty impressive no?!
Products Used:
Base Coat: OPI Nail Envy
Colour: OPI Russian Navy (2 coats)
Top Coat: OPI Top Coat
Drying Drops: OPI Drip Dry
Love,

I love when a nail varnish lasts! I usually don't get to find out as I keep changing colour! Gorgeous colour you used too:)
ReplyDeleteThank you! x
ReplyDeleteso i guess operation OPI was a success? x
ReplyDeleteI use Stickey as my base, add another layer in between the two coats of colour & finish with Seche Vite. This always gives me 6 days minimum on a home mani, whether it be Essie or OPI. I had a salon mani on Sunday with Illamasqua & it chipped badly less than 48 hours in (they're redoing it FOC on Friday)
ReplyDelete@Andrea Yep pretty much despite my unhelpful picking!
ReplyDelete@Babaduck That sounds pretty good! I'm kind of wary of Seche Vite because of the chemicals being linked to birth defects though... :/ That's pretty shoddy with the Illamasqua but glad you're getting it re-done!
Oh I love that colour and despite your picking it lasted amazingly well, hehe.
ReplyDeleteBabaduck-that's terrible re yout mani not lasting but great that the salon are redoing it FOC.
:D @cornflakegirl I know it's an awful habit! was totally distracted and then suddenly two nails were gone!!
