Fiery Red

This week's nails aren't my favorite. I honestly couldn't pick what to wear, so I ended up using a mystery red OPI mini that I got for free when I bought Orly Snowcone. OPI minis unfortunately do not have labels, and since this looks like every other shimmery red on earth, I have zero idea what the name of the actual polish is. The formula was good; it took only 2 thin coats for full opacity. However, it looked extremely boring by itself so I tried to jazz it up with Essie Shine of the Times, an iridescent flaky top coat.

The end result is an interesting scale-like effect. It seems almost reptilian to me, like dragon scales or something magical.
