    Nailvengers Assemble: Summer Treats

    Strawberries and Cream Nail Art | The Nailasaurus
    June’s Nailvengers theme is ‘Summer Treats’ so with Wimbledon coming up, I decided to so some Strawberries and Cream nail art. 
    For the strawberries, I used Nicole by OPI The Coral of the Story as my base colour with Barry M Key Lime for the green. I added the details using black acrylic paint and Barry M Spring Green.
    For the creamy nails, I used Graffiti Nails Ice White as my base, then the Saran Wrap technique with a tiny bit of Barry M Rose Hip and Nicole by OPI The Coral of the Story.

    Nicole by OPI Roughles Collection Swatches

    Roughles (genius name!) is an upcoming collection from Nicole by OPI that consists of 4 textured polishes. They’re all pastels with a twist and the speckled effect is spot on. It adds that little extra that makes these polishes truly unique.
    All of these swatches are two coats with no top coat and I was really impressed with the drying time on these. You don’t have to wait very long for them to dry down to the textured matte effect they’re built for.

    The interesting combination blue and burnt purple (almost red) speckle make I’m Stucco on You a stand out for me and it’s my favourite from the collection.

    Nicole by OPI On What Grounds Swatch
    On What Grounds reminds me of mint choc chip ice cream! The base is a turquoise with a hint of mint and the speckles are mostly blue with a few brown sprinkled in.

    Nicole by OPI Rock the Look Swatch
    Rock the Look is a perfect combination of sorbet shades. Past the pink base, there are a few shades of orange and some dark purple.

    Nicole by OPI Sand in My Shoe Swatch
    I have to give Sand in my Shoe props for being a yellow polish that doesn’t apply like a yellow polish (i.e. all streaky and thin). Application was a breeze – it only needed two coats like all the others – and it remains beautifully bright and sunny even with the matte finish.
