Imagine Feat. OPI "Not Like the Movies"

Pin It
Good day lovelies! Its a rainy Sunday and i'm inside doing my nails, trying to think up the perfect gift for my secret santas, and chilling with my kitty. It's an alright day. It seems like this week had been non stop madness and some big things have happened. Many of them keeping me from blogging >.> But i'm doing my best, and that's all i can do. :) Has the holiday madness started to approach you yet?


For this mani i used a couple OPI polishes that were graciously given to me by a co-worker who i'm slowly trying to turn into a fellow polishaholic.
Color Club "Twiggie"
OPI  "Turquoise Shatter"
OPI "Not Like the Movies"
OPI "Last Friday Night"



I first started with OPI Not Like the Movies. This color is weird, and that's the end. Its not for every one, but i found it intriguing enough to used as a major color.
Not Like the Movies is a silver shimmer with a subtle green duo chrome. Its defiantly reminiscent of the silver light sensitive emulsion found in old school film. 









 Seen here is the more yellow green duo chrome that exists in the polish.
This isn't a complete color shift but it's just enough to give the color an interesting element that catches the eye




On either corner of my nail i used a small amount of Turquoise Shatter. I still wanted Not Like the Movies to still show through but i wanted more elements to this design. The tiny areas of shatter were really hard to capture on camera.   Personally i don't like shatter all over the nail



With my dotting tool i used Color Club's Twiggie to make dots along the edge of each section of shatter. Dots are fun and i always like to use them in my designs




Over all of my nail after all my design had dried i used OPI Last Friday Night all over the nail to give it a unified looks through glitter. Because glitter is the solution to life.
