OPI Houston We Have a Purple with Kleancolor Chunky Holo Purple

I hope you are enjoying your Friday! Today I have a very pretty jelly to share with you.

OPI Houston We Have a Purple is a deep magenta jelly, or as they've been deemed, sorbet. As with most jellies, there is a bit of visible nail line, but not as much as it appears in the picture. In person, its practically opaque. I used two coats for most fingers and an extra third for two fingers. On my thumb and ring finger, I used Kleancolor Chunky Holo Purple as an accent. Not quite holo, at least in my opinion. It flashes red, orange, yellow, and green. Regardless, its gorgeous. The application on both of these is great.

OPI retails for $8.50 at Ulta and Target, also various places online. Kleancolor Chunky Holos retail for $2-4 various places online.

I hope you're enjoying your Monday! Today I have another manicure for Monkey See Monkey Do Monday. Basically you take inspiration from or recreate a mani done by someone else.

I was inspired by this mani done by Ommorphia Beauty Bar. I used completely different polishes, but achieved a very similar effect. I used one coat of OPI Lincoln Park After Dark as my base. Next I sponged OPI Rainbow Connection on about two-thirds of my nails starting at the cuticle. To give the tint, I did one coat of OPI Houston We Have a Purple, a sheer jelly. Finally to give make my design a matte finish, I used Hard Candy Matte-ly in Love.

I posted pictures of both matte and shiny. I love the way adding the matte top coat makes the glitter pop.
