[ Nail File : ] Push and Shove


We are loving Gwen Stefani's collaboration with OPI, Push and Shove! This metallic reflecting polish will make you oooh and aaah over your nails all night (but try not to stare at them if you're on a date). It's foil finish can be achieved in a short application time if you've got steady hands and are a polishing pro! If not, don't worry, take your time. It's worth the wait. 

Things to note: The base coat, Lay Down that Base, dries fairly quickly. When applying Push and Shove, depending on your bottle's brush, you may notice that the brush leaves streaks as you glide it over your nail. Don't worry! Add a tiny bit more of polish to your brush on your second coat. It'll smooth out those lines as it dries. Remember, no top coat! Finally, it's categorized as a one night only wear polish because, like foil, it imprints. Still, you can probably get a couple days out of it before it starts looking too rough.

Okay, rock star. You're ready for your duet! Pick up OPI Push and Shove at your local beauty supply store, or order here.

[ Nail File: ] Orange You Glad There's a Disco?

First coat

Second coat

Third coat with Seche Vite

Essie | Saturday Disco Fever
Top Coat | Seche Vite Dry Fast

finale

For the most part, I'm an OPI kinda girl. It's the go-to, reliable brand for nail color both subtle and funky. Every once in awhile an Essie color catches my attention so I give it a shot. This time it's a bold orange color. One thing I have found in my personal experience with Essie is that it takes a lot of coats. Usually it's because of the consistency, but this time it was because of the dullness! After the first coat, it immediately started drying-- awesome! But it dried to a dull color-- not so awesome.

I added a second coat and it held some, but I took the photo before the dullness set in once again. Without a top coat, I would have been in trouble. Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat to the rescue! It added the intended shine, and I'm out the door in 5.

These two products are a pair. And I intend to wear them both several times this fall!

Nail Polish | Tart Deco by Essie

That hard orange isn't going to cut it for me-- it's still Summer! So, I sweetened it up a bit with this bold, rich, and bright color. What do you think?
