OPI: If you Moust you Moust

 
So I hadn't written in awhile. Busy bartending etc, but as it turns out I couldn't stand the politics of the bar I was at and I sorta quit. Whatevs, now we can discuss polish. Here we have today OPI If you Moust you Moust from the Minnie Mouse collection. This is the only polish I picked up from this collection, mostly because the whole collection was pink and Pink polishes totally dominate my collection.


 As you can see here IYMYM is a pretty creamy blue toned pink. I've seen it compared to OPI Pink Friday and it's much darker while being more cool pastel than OPI Strawberry Margarita. Formula was good not perfect but definitely professional quality. Two coats was enough to cover the nail line. You may or may not have noticed the dent/ding on my pointer finger. This occured like almost an hour after I painted my nails with two coats OPI and one coat of "fast dry" top coat by "Best Nail Treatments". Fast dry my ass right? I have more complaints about this top coat later.


On my ring finger I used Essie Navigate Her, but then I smudged the tip so I made like a funky French tip with the IYMYM and a white nail art pen. Funny side note: I read in some article I stumbled upon that putting a different color on the ring finger signals to lesbians that you're A. also lesbian, and B. into "femme" lesbians. This made me laugh, because I've been doing this for years and I think I'm straight...but if I were gonna be a lesbian I'd admittedly want to date "femme types". Yeah, this post got way off track.

OPI If You Moust You Moust, Essie Navigate Her, Best Nail Treatments Top Coat


So here is that topcoat I was complaining about. I picked this up on clearance at Ocean State Job lot. Now before you think "she got what she paid for" as a disclaimer I always purchase my FAVORITE top coat here which is the discontinued Borghese Presto top coat. Sometimes I can get two for three dollars and it makes my penny-pinching day. This top coat I used today...not even worth a dollar. I'll probably throw it away. In addition to not being fast drying it totally causes shrinkage which I've never even experienced before and horrendous bubbling. Maybe this was a bad batch and that's why it was on clearance but I would avoid it in the future. Apparently this is the same company that makes "Posh" nail treatments so I won't buy that one either most likely.

In conclusion: OPI IYMYM = Good
Best Nail Treatment Topcoat = Bad
