Here are some new pictures that I took of my nails (painted with Cajun Shrimp by OPI). These were taken with my digital camera (as opposed to my iPod Touch), so they are better quality. This also means, however, that you can see all the flaws!!! :O
Like I said yesterday, I did a pretty sloppy job with the manicure yesterday. My hands were so shaky! But, I tried to clean it up as best as I could. I am trying to learn how to get the gap look when painting my nails, as I believe that that looks cleaner and more professional. I got it down once, but haven't been able to do it again. :P I'll keep trying!
For some reason, my middle finger is not as smooth as the other fingers. Actually, now that I think about it, I know why. I got a speck of something stuck onto the polish when I was applying the top coat, so I hurriedly tried to cover it up with more polish instead of just redoing the nail. So, it looks worse than the others. Oh well - I'm not going anywhere really today anyway!
I love this color so much <3 I highly recommend it. I am loving OPI nail polishes. I just started using them and they are fantastic. Great formula and nice opacity. I'm in love!!!

this is a gorgeous colour! i have to agree that leaving a tiny gap looks better as the polish doesnt flood your cuticles! opi are amazing, but quite expensive

Thank you so much for your comment! Yes, this color is gorgeous and the formula is perfection. OPI has great polish, but you are right, it can get expensive!! That is why I have so many drugstore brands (i.e. Sally Hansen) - perhaps someday I will build up a larger collection of OPI (I would love to!) but not right now, haha. And yes, I'm definitely trying to build up my gap technique - it's a work in progress, for sure! Thanks again for the lovely comment, it made my day! :)
