My Boyfriend Scales Walls

Name: My Boyfriend Scales Walls


Collection: Spider Man Collection


Colour: Very Light Grey with a Hint of Blue


Coats: 2-3


Pros: This polish is an interesting opaque, light grey that is almost white with just a hint of shine. It is quite a modern look which can be fun and funky but it isn’t really my style.


Cons: The first coat was really patchy and streaky but the second coat pretty much evened everything out. It was a better, smoother formula than most opaque whites I’ve tried that tend to be sticky and stay streaky but it was still difficult to control. I didn’t really like wearing this polish but it was great for underneath glitters to create opacity or for under the Green Spiderman Shatter.


Similar Shades: “Alpine Snow” is an opaque white that I also use as an undercoat while “Moon Over Mumbai” and “My Pointe Exactly” have the same light bluish-grey tint as “My Boyfriend Scales Walls”

Don't Touch My Tutu!

Name: Don't Touch My Tutu

Collection: Soft Shades New York Ballet

Colour: Cloudy, translucent white

Coats: 3+ (depending on how sheer or cloudy you want)

Pros: This polish is great for creating the effect of a French manicure without the tediousness of fake nails or solid white nail tips. It creates a classy, clean and sleek effect that gives regular or stained nails a nice finish. I also used this one as a base for some of the other polishes in this collection to make them appear less sheer.

Cons: Well there isn’t really and colour in this polish and it isn’t an opaque white like it appears in the bottle either. Additionally, it only really looks good on longer, well-formed nails as it relies on a nice, prominent nail line. Finally, it takes a few coats and is slow to dry with a watery consistency but ends up peeling rather quickly after application so don’t forget your base and top coats!

Similar Shades: I guess “Alpine Snow” is also white but it provides an opaque look. The other shades from the New York Ballet Collection are similar in consistency but add a bit of pastel pigment for some extra oomph.

Sweet Memories

OPI’s Sweet Memories from the Soft Shades Collection is one of OPI’s many light pink shades. Just like most of these other light pink shades, Sweet Memories is quite sheer. Personally, I hate having sheer nail polish but love how sweet and girly light pinks look. It took a lot to make this colour work though. To do this it took two coats of Alpine Snow and three of Sweet Memories! This caused bubbles though and was easily dented. Overall, although this colour is pretty and feminine, I think it’s application is too fussy and time-consuming for a colour that isn’t really anything special. Do you think it’s worth the work or do you prefer Sweet Memories to be sheer?
