Seamless spots

Finally, I have the super special edition OPI Black Spotted! Limited to resale only in French Sephora stores, my friend Malin helped me get it while she was in France - but it wasn't until she actually placed the bottle in my hand I undestood how much work she put into finding it for me. Apparently, the only Sephora in Marseille which carried it at the time was the one she didn't visit until a local friend of her told her she had to go in there and take a look, while Malin was severely pouting because of her unsuccessful search. That time, she, and more so, I, got lucky! Thank you so much, Malin.

A while ago I also placed my first order with Girly Bits, and one I got was Into the Night, a spectacular reflective glitter, possibly prismatic. At first glance I didn't see the resemblence with what I thought I ordered, but that was until I reached for the sun... The arrival of my OPI Black Spotted was just a day later, and I eagerly tried it on top of aaall test wheel swatches I had in front of me. The combination below caught my fancy.

One coat of Girly Bits Into the Night over a black creme, and then topped off with Black Spotted. Flecked universe?! This is either really cool or a total waste. I haven't decided yet. No, wait - it is cool. You can't really tell what's been done here, there's no spotted effect, but a random cover up effect that makes the glitter even more alive. That, plus I've always been a sucker for Space In A Bottle polishes, and this is just another way of creating that - perhaps with even more creative freedom.

OPI Black Spotted was a personal gift.

Girly Bits Into the Night was purchased with own funds.
