Spring Beauty Review: O.P.I. Pirates of Caribbean Mermaid's Tears - A Green I Can Get On Board With!


Finally, a green that I actually love! If you've read my blog in the past then you know green nails and I do not mix. Over the past years, bright day-glo shades have dominated the nail scene for spring. I'm actually loving the softer side of nails this season. I tend to gravitate to more bold, bright or deep hues but this season pastels have my heart!

O.P.I's Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is a beautiful, serene collection with a bit of edge. The collection comes with Silver Shatter which gives it that spackle, shatter effect that you're seeing everywhere now. I have a few favourites from the collection I'll be sharing, but for now lets gush over Mermaid's Tears!


I really heart this shade. It's been a while since I've fallen in love with a nail polish! Mermaid's Tears is a lovely pastel teal green. It really compliments my skin tone. I did find the first coat to be a tad streaky and I had to apply 3 coats to really get a full coat. Other than that I loved it! O.P.I.'s nail brushes are hands down the best for my wide nail beds.

What nail collections are you looking forward to? What do you think of the "shatter" nail trend?
