OPI Nail Lacquer Trio Set, Cajun Shrimp

I used to visit the nail salon every 3 weeks for a gel manicure/pendi and I just can’t afford the $100 bill any longer so I started to do it myself at home. While I don’t do a flawless job, practice makes perfect. Painting my nails has become not just a beauty routine for me, but it’s become a form of self-care. It's a moment for me to relax, to feel excited and accomplished, and to feel good about myself. At only $11 a bottle, I order one new color a week and am quickly growing my collection! I like to wear darker colors, gem stone tones, and colors of nature. When I wear reds it’s always a burgundy or maroon color. I stay away from the candy apple red, fire engine red and Christmas red. However something about this color just sits differently. While it is out of my comfort zone, I am very pleased with this red. It is a fantastic autumn red and I think will be my new Christmas red as well. While most reds usually make me feel like a “lady of the night” this red is exciting and rebellious compared to my normal reds, but doesn’t feel scandalous to me. Second, outside of the fantastic color, I love OPI nail polish. I love that there are so many different colors- there is truly something for everyone. Most polish companies offer bright and pastel colors. These don’t work with my skin tone. Every season I wear darker, richer colors, and it’s hard to find a variety with most brands, but not OPI. Lastly, I love the quality of the products. I know when I use OPI Nail Polish I can expect my mani/pedi to be looking fresh for days to come! I am a SAHM, my hand are busy washing dishes, cleaning, and cooking. With 1 base coat, 2 color coats, and 1 top coat, my nails remain chip free and looking fresh for 5-7 days!!! That’s hard to find with regular polish!
