NOTD OPI Don't Bossa Nova Me Around, with a bit of added sparkle!

Hi everyone,

I wasn’t planning on doing a nail post today but I have interrupted my blogging schedule to share with you one of my new favourite nail polishes with a bit of added sparkle! I wanted something a bit paler as I have been wearing darker shades for the last few weeks which lead me to pick out this gorgeous baby pink colour for a bit of a change.

The shade is called Don’t Bossa Nova Me Around and is from the 2014 spring / summer Brazil collection by OPI. I immediately fell in love with the pretty, girly colour but also wanted to add a little bit of sparkle. I thought adding some glitter to an accent finger would look lovely but I wasn’t sure how the gradient effect would turn out as I haven’t tried it before and wasn’t really sure what I was doing! It was so easy though and I can see it will be something that I keep going back to now I have done it once.

To create the look, all you need to do is dab a clear gel polish or top coat into the glitter of your choice and dab onto the nail. You can start either at the top or bottom of the nail but I decided to start from the bottom and fade it upwards. Once you have a good amount, you just sweep the glitter upwards (or downwards) to get the fading effect. And that’s it!

I hope that I have explained that OK and you get the idea! What do you think of this look? Is it something you would recreate?

Thanks for reading,
