Nothing to Disclose

I wanted to do opal-inspired nails for this week. But I wasn't sure how to go about it. So I have a couple of opal-inspired manis for you for the last day of Rock/Mineral Theme Week I'm doing with a few of my blogger friends.
Opal Nail Art
First up, a saran wrap mani that was inspired by the base my friend Jacki over at Adventures in Acetone used for her butterfly nails. I really thought her base looked like opals and I loved it, so here's my version...
For this mani, I used a base of Sinful Colors SinfulShine Alfresco and followed Jacki's tutorial using SinfulShine Rendezvous, Sinful Colors 24/7 and Color Club Pucci-Licious.

Of course we all know opals come in all shades with all sorts of striations, so here's another version using a flaky polish...
For this mani, I used a base of Elevation Polish Mountain Air and layered over Ruby Wing Sweet Shimmer (sheer shimmer) and Ruby Wing Chocolate Mousse (the flaky polish) and finished up with a coat of butter LONDON Bread and Butter Pudding (a very sheer nude) to tone it down a bit.
That concludes Rock/Mineral Theme Week! Next theme week is the first week in December and the theme is Japanese. Hope to see you then!
Don't forget to have a look at the other great theme manis in the links below!
