I finally got around to wearing OPI Metallic 4 Life recently. I did a coat of Finger Paints Black Expressionism as my base, then a coat of Metallic 4 Life, two coats of Seche Vite, and finished with two coats of Essie Matte About You.
I know that sounds like a lot of coats and a lot of nonsense, but it was really relatively quick and easy. I did it kind of late at night, too, and was able to go to bed pretty quick. That, of course, is the beauty of Seche Vite.
The bummer-oosky of Seche Vite, though, is that at a day and a half of wear time my polish began to chip and lift. I knew it would happen.
For being such a relatively simple glitter polish, I really really love this. It just plain makes me happy. Go figure.
Here is a picture of Georgia lounging around on her couch. It cracks me up that her tail is between her legs!

wow, I've never really loved this polish but here it's stunning and now I want it!lol it looks very cool mattified and maybe it's because you used a base color.
Georgia is so elegant and beautiful!!
I agree with the above post. I have this polish and never really liked it. I love it mattified!! What a great idea. Thank you for the post. I love your blog.
wow, what a beautiful glitter! looks even better matte :)
and I love your dog! She's so big :o! We've always had small dogs in my family (our first pet was a Poodle, current one is a Pom... I want a Corgi in the future lol) but I have always wanted a big dog to cuddle with :) What breed is yours? I've never seen one quite like her here.
Nailderella - thank you! I was surprised to instantly like it so much!
Christina Marie - I'm glad to have helped. I hope you can love it more now!
Estivalia - thank you so much! She is a borzoi (they used to be called russian wolfhounds years ago). They are a large breed, yes, and she is a very stately and majestic looking girl. :) She only weighs 75 pounds, give or take, but looks much bigger since she's so long, tall, and skinny! My other borzoi is smaller - a runt I'm sure. Still stunning, though. Corgis are so cute! I like little dogs but haven't owned one (we had a scottie when I was a little kid).
That is a beautiful doggie! I love borzois!
Oh, and your metallic for life nails are very hip.
Looks fab mattified!!
very very very pretty *_____*

I'd like you send you an email Lauren, but I can't seem to find your email address (sorry, it's early here so I may be being blind)!?
Anna - if you look on the right side bar you should see a picture of an eyeball (it's mine). If you click on it, it will take you to a page and there is a place about contacting me on the left. That should do it. If not, let me know! <3
