It's no secret that my love for light colored nail polished goes hand-in-hand with inability to get weekly manicures and unwillingness to do may nails every few days myself. Light colored polish doesn't show chips as much, so manicures, be it at a salon or at home, can stretch much longer. While I love my Essie Mademoiselle and OPI Bubble Bath, I felt the need to get something with a slight edge while everyone else was rocking the blacks and navys. Side note: even light colored polishes turn my nails yellow while wearing a base-coat, so the effects of wearing round-the-clock dark polishes would be frightening. So I turned to a soft shade of gray.
I discovered OPI's Moon Over Mumbai in CVS of all places almost a year ago, and have been wearing it almost exclusively ever since. I'm still working my way through the same bottle, so if you're hesitant about spending $8.50 for a bottle of nail polish, you really get a lot of use for your money. The color is sheer, so I usually put on 3 thin coats (seen above), allowing drying time between each, and finish with an acrylic top coat. The bottle I bought advertising having an extra-wide "professional" brush. I'm not sure if all bottles in this color come with this larger brush, but it does make the polishing go faster. I generally get about a week out of my home manicures, with a few small chips here and there, but I have only myself to blame since I definitely use my nails as tools. Sometimes I just assume that everyone knows how to do their own nails, but I'd be happy to do a tutorial if that's not the case!
