Oops I did it again

Update: Today I went back for round 2 of the OPI Axxium “soak-off” gel nail polish...or “the chip-free manicure” as I’ve heard it called lately.

You may remember, my main complaint the last time was that I got sick of my color, so this time I played it safe with a straight-up French manicure. Usually when I go French I prefer a “white on white” look – Waltz or Marshmallow for the base and the white tip like this…

…but since there’s not currently a comparable color in the Axxium collection just yet, I chose Bubble Bath/Hawaiian Orchid for my base…which still comes out pretty clear, witness:

I’m pretty happy though – it’s just a nice, classic mani, and you can never go wrong with classic, I think.  I’ll keep you posted with my results.  I learned today that you can paint another color on top, and since the gel polish is not affected by normal polish remover, you can remove the top color without damage to your Axxium manicure, so I’m thinking it may be worth it to have a neutral shade on at all times and paint them for special occasions!  Just a thought…

PS I went on Stefani’s reccomendation to Eminence Nail and Spa above Ulta in the Buckhead loop.  Have you guys been there? That place is HUGE!
