Hi NaiLovelies!
I'm back with a post to show you another swatch from the OPI Brazil 2014 collection. This time I am wearing Kiss Me I'm Brazilian, a super girly super bright pink!!!
Kiss Me I'm Brazilian is a beautiful bubble gum pink creme polish which is vivid but not quite in the neon spectrum. It certainly got a lot of attention from the girls at work! I love a good shocking pink so this polish really does it for me colour wise and I although the colour is loud, it is remarkably easy to wear and I think it will suit all skintones.
The formula of Kiss Me I'm Brazilian was quite thick which I like but I also found it tricky for me to apply. I found that it shrank a little bit from both the tips and the cuticle line and I did have to flash cure on the first coat. It took three coats in total to cover the streaks I encountered during application. I had warmed and shaken the bottle of polish in my Robart paint shaker for a good three minutes but I think it could have used a further minute, maybe two. I think my issue with the shrinkage could be down to my nail bed size so I will try this colour out on my mum or sister to see whether I have the same shrinkage issues as their nail beds are smaller than mine.
Despite the minor shrinkage, I think this polish is gorgeous and it is right up there amongst my favorite pinks.
The beauty of gel is that I can have this beautiful colour on my nails for a couple of weeks chip free!
I
think this bottle is one of the bottles of the OPI Gelcolor Brazil
brights which was recalled shortly after release. I decided not to
return my polishes from the brights selection as I was happy with the
colours and I couldn't be bothered with the hassle of returning them to
the US. I did notice that there were a few flecks of bright pink/red
pigment in this bottle which would stick to the nail during
application. Luckily they were easy to remove using an orange wood
stick.
After a couple of days I decided to jazz up the manicure for the weekend by adding some Swarowski crystals and gold studs along with a little stamping using my new Dashica Infinity plates which are great!!!
You may have noticed a little change in my photos. I have just started using a light tent which I purchased with my own money from eBay seller Universalzone. The tent comes with four different coloured backdrops and also an integrated carry case. It also has two lights and a tripod which is just sturdy enough to hold my dust covered Canon 700D DSLR camera which I will now be using for my blog pictures.

The light tent arrived this week and I absolutely LOVE IT! However, I found that the light tent diffused the light a little too much for my liking so I have used it slightly differently than it is intended by positioning it upside down so I still get to see the high shine glossiness of gel polish in my photos.
Ciao 4 Now
