Why in the world this OPI spring promotional set is called "File in Style" I have no idea, as it includes no file. You do, however, get a really cute set of tweezers and nail clippers along with polishes La Paz-itively Hot and Ya'll Come Back Ya Hear?
La Paz-itively Hot, part of OPI's classic colors, is a medium fuschia pink cream with a very slight blue shimmer. I've worn this once and found it applied well and dried quickly. Great summer color and even though this is on the cooler end of the color spectrum, it worked well with my warmer coloring.
Ya'll Come Back Ya Hear? is from last year's Texas Collection and is a medium orange jelly. Orange happens to be hot right now, at least according to Sephora and Pantone, who have designated it "the color of the year". Orange is one of those colors I'm oddly drawn to now, but hated when I was young. Go figure. Maybe I had seen too many bad 1970's color schemes, I don't know.
The mermaid tweezers work okay, but be careful as they are bit sharp edged. The clippers I'll probably reserve for my toenails, as they are a bit too clunky to trim hangnails with. Both items are super cute though and are freebies with the set, so no complaints! This set was $16 at a spa I go to which generally overprices their items, but I've seen it online for $13-$14.
Now that the temps are rising and Easter is almost upon us, here is my
homage to all things vibrant and sparkly. La Paz-itively Hot is a medium
fuschia pink cream with a slight blue shimmer and was part of OPI's File in Style set that I recently got. It's not a duochrome, but the blue is there
in the bottle at least. I Lily Love You was part of OPI's Nice
Stems mini collection from last summer. Comprised of multi-colored
flecks and small glitter in a pink gel base, this reminds me of the iridescent shredded
cellophane you can put in the bottom of Easter
baskets, except prettier.
This is two coats of La Paz-tively with one coat of I Lily Love You. These dried fairly quickly, and like all the fleck polishes I've tried, you have to make sure no pieces extend over your tips, or you'll have some jagged edges. I just push them back with my finger when that happens. This did not dry rough enough to warrant a coat of Gelous, so I topped it with one coat of Seche Vite. More than one coat of I Lily Love You may be another story though. I think the Seche Vite shrunk the tips a bit, as I've already got some nail edge showing which can't be from wear.
