I am feeling like a FUNKY DUNKY

While I await for the new summer collections from OPI to be released (May 2011) I was in desperate need of a Spring into Summer color… Looking in my OPI Volt, yes I have a "Volt" ... I found my Funky Dunky from the Shrek Collection 2010. It’s a spring purple that one cannot live without!

·         3 Nail Lacquers: Natural Nail Base Coat, Funky Dunky NL B89, and Top Coat

OPI Manicure

I blogged about the Yves St Laurent Manicure a little while ago on IAMSUPERGORGE which inspired me to do the OPI Manicure. I suggest 30-45 minutes for the best result, and it's really simple and easy.

Materials needed:

1. Two OPI Colors
2. Manicure Strips or Scotch Tape
3. Base & Top Coat
4. OPI Correct & Clean up pen(Optional)

Begin by using a base coat. Only use ONE coat because it will help remove your polish in the end. Desired colors:

San Tan-Tonio

Do You Think I'm Tex-y

Step 1

*Please excuse the ashy cuticles

Step 2

Apply your second color

Please be sure to allow enough time for your first coat to dry before applying the strips or tape

Step 3 

Apply Top Coat to finish the look

Remove the strip or tape soon as you finish one hand. Then follow up with ONE coat of top coat.

Cleaned my look using the OPI Correct & Clean up pen

You can use a Q-tip (dipped in polish remover) or a nail brush to clean your edges

Other colors used:

Tip: The Color to Watch

Base: Austin-Tatious Turquoise
