Opal Nails

Another quick post! In a Facebook group I'm in we have weekly nail challenges. This week's theme was opals. Here is my attempt to recreate opals on my nails.


I consider this a bit of a fail. It had so much potential! I used 6 different polishes, plus a base and top coat and I guess that was too many because it bubbled like crazy. I HATE bubbles. I had to leave for work, so I had no choice but to leave it on. I could feel those damned bubbles staring at me the entire time. Also, the flakies looks so washed out here, but they were more vibrant in person. In case anyone is interested here is the list of polishes I used starting from bottom to top- Sinful Flutter, Revlon Snow Bunny, Revlon Runway Pearl, Essie Shine of The Times (flakie), Finger Paints Flecked (flakie), and Finger Paints Asylum (flakie).

And in case you need your daily pug fix, here is my Sammy looking super cute as usual.

  1. Yep, I really need my daily pug fix. Can you mail Sammy to me? LOL.

    I really like this look. I am too lazy to use 6 polishes. For me it would be base coat, polish, then flakies top coat. :)

    1. Haha, I'll mail her to you only if you promise to mail her back when you're done!

      I really shouldn't have used 6 polishes because is bubbled so badly. I just got over ambitious!

  2. It looks like it would be really pretty without the bubbles.

    1. I haven't had a problem with bubbling in forever either! I may try this again just because I'm so angry it didn't work. I'm determined now!

  5. Too bad about the bubbling because that nail combo is fantastic! It looks really cool, I don't think I've ever seen anything like that before!

  6. How you say that's a fail? It's stunning! You can't see the bubbling and it looks just like opals! I wish I could recreate it!
