Quick Fiery French - OPI Brazil Nail Art

There are few colors in the new OPI Brazil collection that piqued my interest more than Where Did Suzi's Man-go?. It's orange, but a soft orange that looks like a mango and a cantaloupe had a baby. I wore it alone for a day but wanted to freshen things up when the next day rolled around. Do you ever add to or change your manicures to get more mileage out of them?

I reached for OPI Red Hot Rio to use as the second shade in this manicure. It's very glossy and somewhat jellylike with a nice formula.

I used the polish brush to add the fishtail-style tips (visit my tutorial!), and then a small nail art brush to add the stripe down the middle and the smaller fishtail-style accents. I have been trying to loosen up with my brushwork a little bit, and this was a result of that. A little less concerned with perfection, a little more "free," a little more painterly. I still need some practice but it does feel good to let go.

OPI Brazil is available now at professional salons incuding Ulta and Ulta.com. I highly recommend picking up Where Did Suzi's Man-go? if you are a fan of oranges. Even if you aren't -- maybe it will change your mind!
