Recently I bought two Orly polishes from Priceline for $3 each. I was very thrilled with my bargain. One of these polishes was the birth month polish for October, Opal Hope. I could have used this for my Happy Birthday post but I always had another manicure planned for that. Opal Hope is perfect for Polish Us Pink because it is obviously pink. And the other thing I liked was that it was for October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month AND that it has hope in the name. Perfect.
First things first. I used three coats of Opal Hope to reduce visible nail line. It is still there but I could live with it as I had decided that I would do a gradient. Opal Hope also reinforces my resolve that I shall eventually have to get a new camera as I could not capture the green duochrome. This polish also has some shimmery fleck. After googling other posts about Opal Hope I did not feel so bad about not being able to capture the duochrome.
I was going to tape my fingers off with striping tape but the polish was not dry enough. I even left a couple of dents in my polish from this. Rather than wait, because I am impatient, I sponged a gradient of Wet N Wild Lavender Pearlescent on the tips. Originally the plan was to sponge this over the tape but... I am impatient. Lavender Pearlescent is also sheer so that the flecks from Opal Hope were able to be seen through the polish. I like how it all brings the manicure together.
This week I am posting a link the the Breast Cancer Network Australia. They help you find support groups in your area and online forums. There are a few areas of information on the site about various topics such as living with breast cancer and receiving a new diagnosis.
looks pretty!
