Now this is a manicure I wore last week it's OPI Pure Lacquer Nail Apps in Geometric Sparkles. It looks exactly like it sounds :P I'm a big fan of nail wraps as a whole, and this is the first OPI one I have tried. As you can see from the name these are made from real polish. They are simple to put on. Just select the appliqué that fits your nail, and if there's none just find the closest fit ans trim it so it fits properly. Then peel off the clear covering and gently peel the appliqué of the white back. Position it on a clean nail, press it down and be careful not to wrinkle it. File or melt off the tip with acetone, then finish with topcoat!
Now the package says that it comes with base and topcoat, but I stall added both. It just made everything look a bit neater. One thing I noticed with these were compared to the other nail polish apps I have tried(Incoco) these are much more delicate, once they touch your nail they had better be in the right place.
Overall I really liked these, but I did get them on sale. I'm not sure it would be something I shelled out full price for. But they were still relatively easy to apply, and I can never say no to easy nail art.
They are pretty cool - and I like them a lot!
ReplyDeleteI never tried nail wraps, I'm afraid my nails would feel trapped LOL
Haha I have never heard anyone say that before :P To me once you get them on your nails, they immediately feel like you are wearing nail polish that has had hours to dry. Once they are topcoated I don't feel like I need to be careful at all.
DeleteI love them - they look awesome. I haven't tried wraps either, but that's mainly because I love changing my manis very often :)
ReplyDeleteWhich is why I pretty much only buy wraps on sale. I don't feel as bad when I take them off early. I saved about 70-75% on these(I'm not sure how much they originally cost. I looked online and prices seem to vary).
DeletePretty. I thought at first these were snakeskin/reptile print but a closer looks shows stars and hexes. How well do they wear? I haven't tried wraps, but I have had bad experiences with trying to do silk nail wraps and these seem so similar that I pass them by.
ReplyDeleteI've tried about 5 different brands of wraps and these probably fell in the middle. They started to chip at the end of 2 days. When it comes to nail polish wraps I would rather go with Incoco. Overall though my favourite wraps are probably NCLA, although they are not nail polish.
DeleteAt some point I plan on doing a comparison post :)
These look really nice! :-)
ReplyDeleteI like to see nail wraps, but I use them rarely.. Now that I think about it, I think I published only one nail wraps manicure and I was not really convinced... I'll stick to my nail art! :-)
