Simple Snowflake

OPI "Ulta-mate Berry Beautiful"

You caught a glimpse of this manicure earlier in my cookie post. Here is a photo of a fresh manicure (sans tip wear). The red polish is OPI "Ulta-mate Berry Beautiful" which like I said, is from FOREVER ago. I really get annoyed when I read that nail polish only lasts a couple years. Hmph! This one has lived 3x that already and the formula is as good as the day I got it!

The "snowflake" I used is not actually a snowflake, but I like it so much more than the ones on Konad image plate M59. This is from M20. I stamped in Konad's white "special polish" and then applied a rhinestone to the center. Pretty, huh?
Do you have any black labelled OPIs? Did you find them somewhere or have you had them sitting around?

    Simple and gorgeous. Your manicures are pure perfection every single time. =) I only have 1 OPI in my collection. It's a white label Can You Dig It.

    I see your nails and I start to love my shorties...took some getting used to, but now I see they can still be lovely while I play the piano. Thanks for sharing your lovely short nails. They are shaped so beautifully.

    This is gorgeous! I don't have any OPI black labels, but I'm fairly new to the polish addiction...so ask me again in a couple of years! Haha. I love the "snow flake."

    God, this is so pretty. I love this muted red! Looks so..comfy to be wearing it. Is it? :) And that rhinestone is a total win for this look!

    I have a bottle of OPI Hawaiian Orchid that's about 8 years old. It's almost empty (less than 1/4th) but a little thinner makes it perfect again. So if you take good care of your lacquer...it's last a long long time. :)

    Very beautiful! I made a snowflake mani today as well, with OPI Russian Navy Suede and white snowflakes from one of the Bundle Monster plates. :)

    I was RAOK'ed Hoodoo Voodoo?! and Vould You Like A Lick-tenstein? and I think those are the only black label OPI's I own. Maybe DS Glamour? I'm not sure though because the labels of the Designer Series look different from the 'normal' polishes.

    Love your mani btw, going to try the 'snowflake' sometime soon!

    I love the simplicity on this one, although the white image doesn't look simple at all! Very pretty and wearable!

    You have the nicest nails! I agree it makes one love shorties - they're the perfect length, and your mani's are impeccable. Awesome! :)

    I love how "neat" your nails looks. Would you consider sharing how you get them so nice? Your cuticle clean-up method?
