Tested an idea from another blog

I came across the blog OPI Last Friday oops, I did it again.  It looked very tempting to me, so I went out and grabbed all the colors.

Unfortunately, it didn't come out as expected.  I will have attempt again sometimes in the future (most likely with different colors) to see how it can be improved.  In any case, this is what it looks like, how I did it, and some struggles/challenges.

Tip: OPI Ogre the Top Blue
Layer: OPI Last Friday Night
Glitter top: OPT Serving up Sparkles

Instructions & Tips

1.      Apply base coat

2.      Myth => The original instruction said to use a navy blue for tip base and then use OPI Ogre the Top Blue as another layer of tip base.
Challenge =>  OPI Ogre the Top Blue is a very solid color.
-- It's very hard to get it painted on very thin over navy blue and still maintain the oval shape
-- For short nails, there's not enough space to work the layers
Verdict =>
-- Skip the navy blue base. 
-- Paint OPI Ogre the Top Blue as French manicure (as light as possible, but still maintain the shape) on the tip

3.      Paint a natural color (OPI Passion is used here ) over the entire nail
Tip =>  If you want the blue to blend in more, put more natural color on it, but definitely no more than 2 coats.  The nail polish would be too thick.

4.      Myth => Put OPI Last Friday a little above last tip line, use 2 coats
Challenge =>
-- If instruction is taken literally, it’s not possible to blend the color in – it’s too light. 
-- If looking the picture carefully, two layers are one above another.
Verdict =>
-- Paint one coat OPI Last Friday up to ½ or 1/3 of the nail from end of the tip
-- Paint the second coat slightly below and to the end of the tip
-- Dab the third coat lightly on the French manicure line

5.      Apply OPI Serving up Sparkle over the whole nail

6.      Apply top coat and dri-drip – the coat is very thick, and the dri-drip will need to be applied the second time after 10 minutes.
