愛睏的熊熊 Wombatzzz

OPI 的NL B01 色號英文名是"Strawberried in the sand" - 就是沙中的草莓的意思囉...這色好像最近停產不過找找應該還有蠻多人在賣的.

雖然英文名說是有些草莓的意思...不過我看不大出是怎麼草莓法...並不是鮮紅欲滴的熟透的草莓色...有不是草莓果醬般的透明感, 我只勉強聯想到草莓棒棒糖的那種深粉紅色啊...

以我平常愛擦的粉紅系來說這已經是我所接受的最亮的粉紅吧.

這一色是深一點的亮粉紅...充滿夏季味道...適合沙灘的那種粉紅, 帶有一點金粉的金屬般的色澤...並不是俗豔的桃紅感,反而比較偏一小點的珊瑚色..

OPI “Strawberried in the Sand” (code NL B01) is probably on the brighter end of the pink color spectrum that's almost at the edge of my comfort zone. It is a discontinued color so might be a bit hard to find (but definitely not super rare). On some websites it is described as a ‘shimmery peachy orange’ – and I’ve read various reviews saying it’s a coral. However, on my nails it as at best a pink with the tiniest hint of coral. It is not an opaque color nor a creme, in the bottle it looks like a fluidy, semi transparent glossy pink base with a lot of very very fine pink iridescence/ shimmers that flecks a slightly hotter pink and a very subtle gold. It applies translucent in one coat but almost full color in 3 coats. Overall on the nail it doesn't look good with one translucent coat because the tip of your nailtip will show. (see picture below).

One coat is quite sheer:  一層是有點透明的 With 2 coats: 兩層後就很發色.. 一般來說我蠻怕擦鮮艷的色彩,很容易就變的有點俗...不過這色不虧是OPI 的價格...它本身的金色細粉折射的光澤讓它就是很夏天的開朗色..幾乎有點像珍珠般的折射..質感也是OPI出名的滑順易擦...

Essie 在台灣好像比較少看到, 在國外它跟OPI 差不多是屬於指甲沙龍常看到的專業牌子, 色系沒OPI那麼鮮艷, 淺色系蠻多的, 要不就是鮮紅豔橘亮粉紅, 偶爾有些深色系的, (OPI 可能有些特殊一點的顏色, 如叢林綠,泥漿色等等). 在國外的價錢跟OPI差不多, 可能便宜一點點.

這色是'Tennis Corset', 透亮象牙白帶著均勻的金色碎亮粉(沒到亮片那麼大), 比較透一點的安全色, 不過最大的問題是他的金色亮粉會有時讓指甲看起來有點黃~ 皮膚偏黃的要注意些.

我的指甲上擦三層, 外加Seche Vite的快乾top coat.

First mani review will go to Essie Tennis corset- I believe this was a 2006/2007 release. It's a beautiful sheer to medium-sheer ivory based polish with tiny flecks of gold sparkles (small shimmers, not glitters, the shimmers also reflect pink and a pale golden green at different angles).
I need to apologise to this polish! I've previously worn it multiple times in two coats, (how I normally do 99% of my manis), and never liked it much- it turned out to be too sheer and the golden sparkles makes my nails seemed yellow. I've also tried layering it as a coat on other polishes, still didn't like it- one coat doesn't give enough shimmers to the underlying base color.
