OPI SPIDEMAN COLLECTION MINIS:

• Number One Nemesis: Show your metal in the sparkling Nickel
• Your Web or Mine?: The perfect pink for sticky situations.
• Into The Night: This perfect midnight blue was made for prowling.

MY EXPERIENCE:

Beside being named with all creepy creatures, but that's what the SPIDERMAN franchise is all about, this collection has such a wonderful selection of bright shades that I lost my heart at once. Since long I wanted to acquire and own it, and now I do Own it. All the shades are beauty in their own but my most favourite is "Just spotted the Lizard!", oops I won't ever name it in front of my mom, lolz she will surely freak out :p I wonder that O.P.I HQ must have a special squad of creative people for naming the shades, in here all four names are so creative esp "Your Web or Mine?" how romantic, so is the shade. Let's review the four minis one by one:

• Just Spotted the Lizard!: Don't freak with the name, the shade is an antique beauty. It is a duo chrome green with yellow hue all in gold metallic sheen.
• Number One Nemesis: Hmm well this one is the average one, among all the brights it is the glitter boy. It's metallic grey quenched in silver glitter which give it a metallic look.
• Your Web or Mine?: I love the name, then the Pink it is, so beautiful, so girly, so Romantic. Yes this is the metallic Pink so bright that you can't go wrong with it.
• Into The Night: Dare to wear it, yes this is that bright blue, with a deep purple hue, which will make you stand out the crowd on any night-out.

O.P.I SpiderMan collection minis are available for Pkr 1400/-. I bought mine from Daraz.pk. You may check for online availability in Pakistan at Just4Girls.pk or BeautyArena. Internationally available on ebay.com and Amazon.com.

BRIGHT DIAMANTE STUDDED NAIL ART:


PICTORIAL:
Things required:

• I chose three shades from the Spider man collection Just spotted the Lizard!,Your Web or Mine? and Into the Night
• Crea-Nails
• Silver diamante's, I bought mine from Nail Art collection for Pkr 50/-
• Top Coat, I use Essence Gel Look Top Coat
• French Manicure strips, got mine with Crea-Nails
• Tweezers
• News paper to save the table from mess

STEP#1:
Wear the Crea-Nails, apply transparent base coat, I use my top coat for this purpose.

STEP#2:
Apply the base colour. I applied Just Spotted Lizard on all except the ring finger where I applied the pink, Your Web or Mine? Let it dry completely.


STEP#3:
Remove Crea-Nails. On completely dried base colour apply the french manicure strips in different or same shape you like, I chose to make it all different shapes/curves.


STEP#4:
Apply the Brightest shade of all, Into the Night, on one side of the curve. Let it dry for a minute or so, not completely.


STEP#5:
Remove the strips carefully, I was in a hurry so didn't wait for the base coat to dry so got these streak over my base coat. Well to hide streak I applied base colour again.


STEP#6:
Apply transparent top coat on the area you want to place diamante, one nail at a time. Use a tweezers to hold and place them, this will require allot of patience, skill and nerves, as it was my first time too... lolz


FINAL LOOK:

P.S: I so regret working in hurry over not-completely-dried base colour and a thick top-coat which kinda ruined the final look with all these bubbles :( Hope you still like it, I will try to recreate this with better results soon.
