CAN'T FIND MY CZECHBOOK WITH RAINSTORM (OPI/SINFUL COLORS)

Note: I applied this polish on January 2nd and took the photos on the 3rd.

Excuse the mess of the above photo. I only managed to take two photos of this mani but I wore it for 2 weeks. Oops.

Can't Find My Czechbook (OPI) is a lovely medium, borderline teal, creamy blue. I got this as a mini in a set for Christmas. For being in a mini bottle, it went on really well. I applied 2 coats for full coverage with no application issues.

For my accent nail, I created a paw print using Rainstorm (Sinful Colors) which is a nice creamy dark blue. Rainstorm is probably my favorite dark blue polish so I knew it would go on well for what I needed it for with one coat. I hand drew the paw print with a Avon thin nail brush.

Dry time was quick and the mani didn't really start chipping until about a week after applying. Even after wearing it for 2 weeks, I still had a good portion of the polish on each nail! Also, no staining as seems typical of these sort of colors!

Overall I am rating this mani a 6 out of 6 stars. It had special meaning for me and the colors went well together.

The inspiration for this mani was for my great aunt who passed away in late December. She was one of my favorite people in the world. She loved the color blue so I painted my nails in honor of her favorite color instead of a more somber darker color. The paw print is because she loved dachshunds. Below is the only other photo I managed to get of my nails. Love you aunt Nan. <3
