If you're like me and usually stay clear of pastel nail lacquers, you need to try this trick!

That being said, the only 3 shades (which are my favorites!! ♥) that really needed this special tip were This Cost Me a Mint, It's in the Clouds and Stop it I'm Blushing, the other colors were smooth and fully opaque with 3 thin coats.

Check out Colores de Carol if you prefer to see 'hand swatches'!

Stop it I'm Blushing! is a light peach with a creme finish. This shade is sooo pretty! It's quite a bit streaky with only 2 coats, but 3 coats and the matte top coat trick gives a beautiful smooth finish. It had great longevity on me, the polish started to chip around day 6!!

It's in the Clouds is a creamy white with a creme finish. This one is tricky, it's streaky but thick so it doesn't level on the nail. I need 3 coats, a layer of matte top coat after the first coat, and some top coat for a smooth finish. It's pretty though!

One Chic Chick is a soft yellow with a creme finish. This yellow definitely looks best with 3 coats, but it doesn't need the matte top coat trick to look good. I do recommend to be light with your brush pressure though.

This Cost Me a Mint is a pale pastel green with a creme finish. I wore this shade earlier this month and it lasted a good 4 days without chipping! This one have a tendency to be more streaky than the other shades, but again... perfectly smooth with the matte top coat trick!!

It's a Boy! is a baby blue with a creme finish. Oh this is a cute blue! It's patchy in two coats, but 3 thin coats did the trick!

I Am What I Amethyst is a light lilac with a creme finish. I think this is the best formula out of the 6 shades, it's still a bit streaky with 2 coats but looks good with 3 thin coats.

The OPI Nail Lacquers retail for $12.50 CAD for 15ml.
