OPI & Apple Pie and Nfu Oh # 49 Layered Manicure

After the success of my last layered manicure, I've decided to try another.

I have had my bottle of OPI & Apple Pie for about 7 years. It's a caramel brown creme, but feel it's a bit too orange to be chic, so I wondered if a Nfu Oh flakie could work its magic.

I thought the bronze flakes in Nfo Oh 49 would work well over the brown lacquer.

For reference, I post two pictures, one with flash, one in sunlight, of the OPI &Apple Pie before it is pimped with the flakie.

I was surprised how well this polish applies. Besides its advancing years, it has a teeny brush. I think that OPI have redesigned their brushed since thie was made. Still, it levelled well and gives a high shine. And after the transformation...

As with most of my pictures, they really need to be enlarged to see the flakes properly. I could not capture the flakies well- when lit from an oblique angle they dazzle green. This is my best picture:

I think that the Nfu Oh flakies are a very simple way of reviving an old polish!
