Mani Monday | Sheer Tints

This trio surely left their mark! I wasn't quite sure what to expect from OPI's Sheer Tints enamel. I wondered if it would only look good on top of certain nail colors and how long it would take me to discover which ones those were.

I was pleasantly surprised to see this purple hue look nice against a bare nail, as well as on top of OPI's Where Did Suzi's Man-go?. It brought the sorbet orange enamel to a raspberry sorbet and I love it! (Instant smile, in fact!) It's quite thick in texture, so an even stroke is important for a smooth, clean finish. Unless of course you're going for a textured look, then experimental strokes will do!

Definitely going to check out other Sheer Tint colors (perhaps blue next?), because Don't Violet Me Down surely satisfied and will be making several appearances!

Life in Indigo

It took me a little while to nail down #5 on my To-Do-Before-30 list. It wasn't until I was scrolling through Pinterest and saw a woman with a purple 'fro that I decided that's what color I was going to do. (Of course, I consulted with Dr. Dré first!)

So here it is, still too dark to notice on first glance, but the lighter strands are no longer. In fact, the most common reaction from colleagues (after having already seen me a few times) has been "IS YOUR HAIR PURPLE?!"

It's new, fun, and a bold way to kick of my to-do list. Wouldn't you agree?
