The Sweetheart Opal Series~
If you love how cute this is but you prefer a more neutral result, mitigate the loudness of shiny opal with a lighter base such as nude, light pink to keep it sweet and low-key. Alternate the 'opal' layer on 2 or 3 fingers each hands to make it even lighter and this will limit your pocket damage if you get it done at a salon.
The Fluffy Whites~
Even if you prefer clear and white-based nails, you can have it a billion ways. A transparent base? A matte white base? A gradient white base? or semi-white base? Or something white-tish with a hint of colours? Every little detail make a big change. We get you, so look carefully and see which is for you!
The opal/shattered glass nails are friendly to all nail shapes, sizes and lengths! It shows impartiality. If you prefer to keep it short, you can pull it off like a queen. If you prefer it light, you can have it sweet.
