Opi Two Tones

Pros: Well explained instructions, easy to do, high quality nail laquer
Cons: Time consuming

My first manicure
It all started when I went with my sister to get her nails done. I hadn't intended on doing my nails, but once I was there, I wanted to have pretty nails too. So I shelled out the $5 to get a french manicure. I...

Pros: At $9.95 for two bottles of OPI compatible shades, a great buy!
Cons: Smile lines are worthless to me.

OPI Nail Products are my favorites, and they're reasonably affordable, too. One of the reasons is because the polish lasts to almost the bottom of the bottle (we ladies know how rare that can be) without getting too thick.

So when I read...

Pros: Subtle attractive shades, easy application
Cons: not quite as good as a salon...but darn close!

Having recently become enamored with OPI nail lacquer, I decided to branch out a bit the last time I was in Trade Secret and buy an OPI Two Tone kit. What is that? It's a set of two complementary nail colors for the creation of your very own, homegrown...

Pros: Affordable with professional results

OPI Two Tones for a French manicure works great. I am saying this because a good friend of mine uses the product and can't say enough things about it. I have used OPI polish for eons, but I use the one color shades. In fact my favorite color is...

Pros: professional results, beautiful colors, excellent staying power
Cons: the smile-line guides leave behind a sticky residue, ridiculously overpriced

Last week, I was in my local mall's Trade Secret store because I had a coupon to use in that store. One of my purchases was the OPI Two Tones Kit. I chose the Alpine Snow and Bubble Bath duo kit. I bought this kit because I love French manicures, they're so pretty and classy. As soon as I got home, I used the kit and got good results. The smile-line stickers that came with the kit actually stick well to the nails, leaving a clean, professional-looking smile line. Unfortunately, the tip guides leave behind a sticky residue after they are removed, but it's not too bad. And this kit was $19.95 in Trade Secret, when it's usually about $9.95 in other stores. But the polishes are staying on well and OPI products are what most salons in my area use. I highly recommend buying this!
