OPI My Very First Knockwurst + Spectraflair

Hey hey.

I finally got my hands in the OPI Germany collection! I got six of the twelve shades, but I'm going back for more! I really love this collection, it's such a strong fall collection. I love love love fall colors and OPI did NOT disappoint!

The color I chose today was one of the light neutrals, My Very First Knockwurst. It's a pinky nude, very light and flattering. I also received a Spectraflair top coat today from Etsy, a shop called Digital Nails. I have Spectraflair but it's the coarse grade and looking at the pictures, it looked like a fine grade Spectraflair. It was also in a suspension base, which I liked a lot. The packaging was really cute too, it came with bright colored confetti and it was wrapped really nicely. Really cute, I suggest you check out her shop if you are in the market for a Spectraflair top coat.

Here is the result of my manicure, two coats of the OPI, one coat of the Spectraflair, and a coat of Seche Vite.



Sorry for that really cropped out picture, I didn't like the background noise. I chose it because some nails are blurry and some are in focus and I feel it shows the holo nicely.

Bear in mind that holographic top coats show up a lot better on dark colors, so it may not be as holo as it would be over a coat of black, but it's still pretty holo. I like it, it's neutral and blingy. I can see someone wearing this to work because in dim lighting, you can barely see the holo. I also like that the spectraflair isn't so packed in here that it turns everything into a pastel. This didn't mask the base color at all. I really really like that. Again, highly recommend this top coat.

What do you think? Do you like the look of a nude with holo? Let me know! Thanks for reading!
