Nails // Blood Orange


Last time I had my nails done, I was annoyed that I had to resort to coral pink rather than the bright orange I had in mind. This time, I made a beeline for the colour I'd spotted before- OPI's Can't Afjörd Not To^. I was envisioning bright, summery nails for the warmer days and, while in daylight that's exactly what I have, inside it's more of a blood orange/ red-coral shade. I waited 3 weeks for this. What a let down!

Never mind, my mum has had her nails painted the brightest shade of highlighter pink known to man and I am going to get that exact shade next time. You better be prepared for it. It is bright!

  2. It sucks when they don't come out right!! I do think a super bright orange is hard to find, maybe check out the Model's Own polish-for-tans next time you DIY? I do think this shade is gorgeous though, and the neon pink sounds right up my street.

  7. I've been looking for an orange shade but can't find anything that is bright enough so I feel your pain! This is a lovely shade though, it looks really nice :-) And you have such lovely nails (they put mine to shame)!
