Slowly but surely, I’m getting better with doing my own nails, and you all get to see my progress over the next few months. My problem with ombres is that I hate using a sponge because I feel like the polish barely transfers from the sponge to my nail, and it just takes forever. I have absolutely no patience for that. If I’m doing something wrong, please feel free to tell me. This time I used a fan brush to create this ombre look, and I really like how simple and fast it was.
Nicole by OPI Carrie Underwood Collection: Southern Charm
When I saw these swatches on various other blogs, I fell in love with Southern Charm from the Carrie Underwood collection. Sadly – and maybe it was just my bottle – I had some trouble with this polish, as it was too thick and goopy and bubbled and streaked quite a bit when trying to apply it. I’m going to see if adding some thinner will make it better.
Sinful Colors Nail Polish: Vacation Time Affiliate
This nail polish coupled beautifully with Southern Charm, and is a lovely dusty rose color (definitely more pink than what’s pictured on the right). Very pigmented and easy to apply – it only took two thin coats when I wore this polish by itself.

I really love the formula of Nicole by OPI polishes. They're thin enough to dry quickly, but build up to full opacity and don't pool […] Read MoreI really love the formula of Nicole by OPI polishes.

I agree with Miranda, NOPI polishes have wonderful formulas! I wish I had the patience to grow gorgeous long nails like you :)

Hrm. Yep, that NOPI looks kinda thick. Bummer! The gradient looks good, though!

Echoing the ladies. Wish I can grow my nails like yours!

That is a perfect natural looking gradient. I am so jealous. I suck at gradient manis.

I hope the thinner works on that Nicole polish - it's a pretty peach!
