I love this polish! I was totally unaware of it until a friend spotted it in a NY Sephora over the summer (I must admit, I'm a little late to get into Sephora by OPI polishes.) It has a shimmery black base (which can look olive green depending on the light) with holo glitter and orange and green flakies. It was also made for the 5th Ave. Sephora opening in NYC, to look like NYC's after dark scene. What's not to love?

Nautical Mani

Finally, after ages of swatches, a detailed manicure!

First, a swatch of the base color. I used Canmake #50, a navy blue polish.
Oh blue nail polish, why must you be so notoriously hard to photograph?? This is actually a deep navy blue polish, and try as I might I just could not get the actual color to show up. Natural light was even worse, it looked light blue!
I had this planned for months specially for last month when I went to Okinawa(which was AWESOME.) I used Canmake #50, NYC French White Tip, and Homei quick dry Your Person of Destiny

I know I posted several months ago about how terrible the Diamond Nail Homei polishes are. The glitter Homei polishes are actually really good, great colors and tons of multi-sized glitter, and mine even came with a free nail tool. It's the Diamond Nail Line (which, incidentally, I haven't seen recently) that bites. I'll post swatches of both in a later post :)
