Flashback Friday: Wooden Shoe Like To Know? OPI

Today, I bring you the lovely paws of my darling cousin Shaheena. She's studying to be a doctor :) And is not afraid of the sparkly! Enjoy!

Close up on the Pinky.

So for this, I was mostly practising a Spa-style manicure that school taught me. It was mostly about getting my time right as well as keeping all the steps. All in all it took me a touch over 45 min (not good, I should be at 45min or under). On to the polish! The base colour is OPI's "Wooden Show Like To Know?"; its a beautiful creamy brown with coppery-gold shimmer. I put one layer of "Sparkling" by Revlon over top to give her extra bling, as she never does her nails. I like this combination quite a bit, very subtle, and elegant.

Hue Left a Message?

Some stamping and an attempt a taping. I found the scotch tape (used for Expresso) gave a much cleaner line than the masking tape (for the Black). Used Bundle Monster's BM-221 plate.

Colours used:

"Hue Left a Message" by Finger Paints

"Expresso" by Kleancolor

"Black Creme" by Wet n' Wild

 Tried a different type of french. It's similar to a fishtail braid idea I saw on Tumblr, if I can find it again I'll post a link to the original photo. Colours used are all by Kleancolor. I took it off same day, and am now just wearing "Holly-Day" from China Glaze on my paws.

Colours:

"45 Copper"

"58 Expresso"

"118 Jazz Olive"

Recently received the 12 new nail polishes I bought a few weeks ago. They're all by Kleancolor, and sadly not available in Canada minus a few select Mom n' Pop stores, so I purchased mine on Ebay. Along with each colour I added a swatch painted onto some fake nails. To look at their whole collection (make-up included) go to their website here: Kleancolor

P.S. They have a nice variety of colours, but they do take a tad longer to dry.
