Nails: OPI's Not Like the Movies

By icyabstract · June 6, 2011 · 2 Comments ·

It's been awhile since my last 'whats on my nails' post.

I had a rugged and weathered coat of OPI's Baby It's Coal Outside for the longest time ever and didn't bother to change it. Long story short, I had a minor case of eczema around my thumb and it made removing polish a pain -- literally -- because of the alcohol in nail polish removers.

My thumb is all better now plus I was attending ScreenSingapore and it wouldn't be nice to show up with rugged polish. Since I was attending ScreenSingapore, what better polish to use then OPI's Not Like the Movies!

Although I initally picked it up to use with Black Shatter, it's lovely on it's own too. The consistency is quite thin thus the swatch photo above was 3 coats of the polish. Though I don't have any issues with streaking and it wasn't a hassle getting 3 event coats on.

I love how it's a silver-ish metallic shade that shines purple in some light and looks green in others. Photos truly doesn't do this polish enough justice!

Somehow I used to think it's a lighter and silver version of Orly's Space Cadet, but I'm wrong it's completely different!

 

Before I end this off, here's one picture from ScreenSingapore! It's was craaaazy out there at the red carpet, but more on that once I sift through my picspam.

Thanks for reading!

Sara: I hunted this down (finally bought it with Under Twenty 20) and I love it too! Its a really pretty duochrome n the micro-glitter really shines! Like you, I also took out Black Shatter to use w it, but liked it so much on its own, I left it as it was Laughing out loud

sugarcrumb: Yeah, it's a nice duochrome shade, and very smooth too! The glitter aren't gritty or anything, glad to find someone else who loves it as much as I do Laughing out loud
