It's true, I've been trying my darnedest to love It's Totally Fort Worth It since the beginning of 2011.
Alas, wanting to feel a certain way and the way I truly feel, are basically mutually exclusive.
It's just so damned sheer!!!! I have to ask, who the heck suits a sheer grey? I saw all the swatches of OPI My Pointe Exactly and absolutely NO ONE pulled it off on its own. It just gave them zombie hands!!! And ITFWI needs at least 4 coats to cover VNL, so I used a light grey creme for a base and 2 coats of ITFWI for the photo above.
I love how pretty the pink/blue flakes of shimmer look and I almost don't mind the brush stroke look, but it still doesn't knock my socks off :)
I won't be getting rid of it any time soon either, but it's only mediocre in my books. I hate being so negative about a polish but I give plenty of good reviews so I suppose you've earned this one!
I did a little bit of glitter layering when I wore this mani so here are those steps:
With a layer of Nubar White Polka Dot it looks like a snowy sky!
The Black Polka Dot kind of gives a dirty snow scum look, but I do love my black glitter!!!
I shall return with a happier post soon!

Meh- I agree. I have 'My Pointe Exactly' and I wondered why I purchased it. It definitely has to be layered and/or used with nail art. I saw one mani of it that I liked and I bought it. Oh well. I'm thinking I might make a a sheer sami out of it: dark color, glitter, lt grey.
ReplyDeleteYea I've seen it look good when there's sandwich or layering action going on!
DeleteIt looks pretty on you, but I agree definitely not one of my favorites! The jellies were the star of the Texas collection for sure =)
ReplyDeleteyes they were! And I love that OPI finally releasing some jellies started a jelly craze in the industry!! And got everybody sandwiching!
DeleteI love this Black Polka Dot... it fits well with this polish... amazing!
