opi surf naked (make the rules)

after a long break, i am back with opi's surf naked, from their summer 2023 make the rules collection.

opi's tagline for this polish is "play truth or bare in this sky blue pearl nail polish", and they pretty much nailed it (yup yup, i went there).  it immediately caught my eye, and i convinced myself that i don't own any pearly light blues because it was just so cute.

i went with two coats, and only now in pictures i see that a third one would've been a smart move. there are sume visible brushstrokes, but they don't bother me. overall, a polish i see myself wearing a lot.

chanel intemporel (l'intemporel de chanel )

intemporel is the only polish in chanel's spring collection, l'intemporel de chanel.

i could've easily skipped this one. it's not like my collection is lacking metallic silvers, but i couldn't resist it.

i really  like metallic silvers. for me, they are perfect party polishes (especially since i wear black most of the time, and need some extra sparkle). this one is no more difficult (nor easier) to use than the most of them, but with thin enough coats and quick hands, you can avoid a lot of brushstrokes. that being said, you have to be blind not to notice them, but, for me, they somehow even add to the charms, so i gave up trying to make it look as polished (pun kind of intended) as possible.
