OPI Gwen Stefani Collection Star Nail Art, Push and Shove Swatch and Review

press sample
You've probably already seen the amazing OPI Gwen Stefani collection swatches already, so I decided to show them off with nail art. They are begging to be used in nail art, of that I am sure! There are 7 shades in this collection, I have 5 of them today and the other two coming soon!

 OPI Push and Shove - a silver chrome, used without top coat but OPI says it needs to be used with the base that comes with it, Lay Down that Base

 I used one coat of the base and two coats of Push and Shove. It applies easy enough, I had no problems. The polish is amazing and unforgiving! I buffed my nails recently to get out a pink polish stain and you can see the tiny scratches left by the buffer. Perhaps two coats of base or using a buffer that shines more than it scrapes would help with that. The marks were much less noticeable in real life though, the lighting and macro photos amplify it.

 I definitely love this one! You should not expect long wear from this though. I started to see wear and small chips on the second day.

 I added stars using nailvinyls that I purchased, and found them to be not as flawless as I'd hoped. The stars came out ok, but I did have to go back and paint over some spots with a tiny nail art brush because the vinyl lifted polish when I peeled it off. Maybe that was because it was over the chrome/mirror like base. Looking forward to trying again.

 I love love the different textures in this mani. I used Hey Baby, 4 in the Morning, I Sing in Color, and Love.Angel.Music.Baby and love each one more than the next, but the shining star -see what I did there? ;) for me is the gold satin finish Love.Angel.Music.Baby.

  1. I like the way you mixed the colors & textures! I'm still not convinced by Push & Shove. I haven't found a comparison with the layla chromes yet, and I want to know how close they are :)
    anyhow the only one I really like from this collection is Love.Angel.Music.Baby, it looks so amazingly elegant!
