OPI “Grandma Kissed a Gaucho”

This beautiful grape purple is a recent release from OPI! "Grandma Kissed a Gaucho" is a medium purple. It does look really vibrant from the bottle, but unfortunately, the formula is more of a sheer jelly, and it doesn't appear quite as vibrant on the nail. However, I did reach nearly full opacity after three…

KB Shimmer “Hubble’d Together” PPU April 2018

The Polish Pickup theme back in April was "Across the Universe", and "Hubble'd Together" was inspired by photos of Jupiter taken by the Hubble telescope. This is a pretty sheer shade, but I only ended up…
