I don’t know if there’s ever been a nail polish top coat that I’ve been this crazy over. This Spring OPI is releasing four polishes to fun up your dull white mani – the OPI Sheer Tints Nail Polish Collection.

These four “top coats” are perfect to change up your nail look by adding a tint of color. Let’s see what fun we can have with I’m Never Amberrassed, Don’t Violet Me Down, Be Magentale With Me and I Can Teal You Like Me.

OPI Sheer Tints Swatches Review Nail ArtHere are the OPI Sheer Tints each swatched directly on the nail:

Sheer Tints by OPI Nail Polish SwatchesObviously that’s not how you’re really meant to wear them, but in the interest of being thorough I went there.

Now here they are over a white nail polish – in the case of this blog post, all OPI Sheer Tints swatches and nail art are done over Nicole by OPI Yoga-Then-Yogurt.

OPI Sheer Tints Nail Polish over Nicole by OPI Yoga-Then-YogurtThese seem to have a thick formula, but do paint on easily. At first it’ll look uneven or streaky but as the polish dries down the discoloration smooths out. As you pull the brush away from your nail there are very find strings that will trail along. I don’t know why or what they are, but I do know they won’t ruin you mani, so rest easy 😉

I’m seeing this watercolor type nail art quite a bit with the Sheer Tints, but I personally saw it first over on Cosmetic Sanctuary, which was the blogger that inspired me to give it a try!

Therefore I just ordered Cult Nails Tempest! I’ll let you know how that works out =D

This mani is so festive and is totally making me ready for Easter, which is still well over a month away! How would you wear the Sheer Tints?

      I saw Jess from Love for Lacquer post a teaser of a tie dye nail and it looked awesome! Her post should be up soon, if not already. I’m going to play around a bit more too, I got that Cult Nails white in the other day =D

    Thank-you so much for showing them on their own & over the white polish! I had seen these on another blog & didn’t really like them. The way you showed the differences I can see how gorgeous they are!!

      I never got the chance to use the sheer tint top coats before from any brand, I’m so excited OPI has them out now. Nouveau Cheap said that Sally Hansen has some out too!

    Lisa inspired me to do this as well! Mine just came in so I’m excited to play!!
