Started out just wanting something less ... pastel than my Easter mani LOL. So I picked out one of my recent purchases, OPI La Paz-Itively Hot Matte
. This is 3 coats & honestly I would have gone for 4 if wearing it alone because there was surprisingly a little bit of VNL:

It was ... not boring, but plain. So I decided to add a little something. Sometimes that turns out good - sometimes that turns out bad - and I'm still not sure which this ended up to be LOL. I did some little dots at an angle in white & then some more in black, then top coat, but it just didn't end up the way I imagined it. Even when I took it off, I wasn't sure I actually disliked it ... and I actually got a ton of compliments ... but I did decide it looked a little better from a distance:
Thanks for reading =)
