Nails of the Week: O.P.I. Sweet Heart and Essie A Cut Above

O.P.I Sweet Heart took 3-4 coats to make it this opaque, but Essie A Cute Above only needed 2 to get this much glitter!
   This week's nail color(s) is O.P.I Sweet Heart and Essie A Cut Above! I changed it from nail of the day to nail of the week because I normally only paint my nails once a week so it made sense to say week instead of day... Anywho back to the polish. O.P.I Sweet Heart is a pale, milky pink in a cream finish, and in the bottle it is gorgeous. However, it took 3-4 coats to make it opaque, and I am not sure I like it with my skin tone. It seems too light... even though I am pretty pale. Maybe I am just not used to this type of color because I normally wear dark shades or bright shades. I used Essie A Cut Above on my ring fingers for an accent nail. A Cut Above came out in the Essie Luxe Effects line, and it is a pretty pink glitter top coat polish. This polish is not meant to be worn on its own, but to be paired over another polish. I love this! The glitters are circular, and there are some smaller pieces of pink glitter throughout it. I want to try this polish over a black... I think it would look really interesting and beautiful! In conclusion, I am not in love with O.P.I Sweet Heart, but I don't absolutely hate it either. I love Essie A Cut Above and if you can find it in stores (or any of the polishes from this collection) buy it! What are you wearing on your nails right now? Thanks for reading! - Meghan
