OPI Sheer Tints

When I first learned about the OPI Sheer Tints collection, I was excited beyond belief.  Imagine the possibilities!  Jelly Sandwiches, Syrup Manis, ooh la la!  Then when I started playing with them, I realized they were way different than any sheer jelly I had used in the past.  These are truly tinted top coats.  Yes, you can build them up (which I have done and love!) but you do have to treat them as top coats and take your time, else they will bubble!

I am going to share with you four ways to wear these today.  First, on their own in a skittle mani.

OPI Sheer Tints (Two Coats)
OPI Be Magentale With Me, I'm Never Ambarrased, I Can Teal You Like Me, Don't Violet Me Down (two coats)
OPI Sheer Tints (Three Coats)
OPI Be Magentale With Me, I'm Never Ambarrased, I Can Teal You Like Me, Don't Violet Me Down (three coats)
OPI Sheer Tints (Four Coats)
OPI Be Magentale With Me, I'm Never Ambarrased, I Can Teal You Like Me, Don't Violet Me Down (four coats)
My favorite shade to wear on it’s own is definitely Don’t Violet Me Down, which is my pick for the Radiant Orchid shade of the year!

The Sheer Tints actually make lovely bases for glitters!  This is two coats of Be Magentale With Me and one layer of Gaining Mole-mentum.

I also love using them glitters to create glitter jelly sandwiches!  This is two layers of I Can Teal You Like Me, one layer of Chasing Rainbows, and another layer of I Can Teal You Like Me!

My last (and most favorite!) way to wear the OPI Sheer Tints is over a milky glitter, like the Nicole by OPI Roughles collection!
