I Got BBQ All Over My Fingers


January 28:

Ok so not really, but I did paint O.P.I.'s "Mrs. O'Leary's BBQ" on my nails!
This color is another vampy, but I think I would consider it a vampy red instead of a vampy purple. In fact, it is the exact color of BBQ sauce! This polish was very easy to apply, I only used two coats, and it lasted without chipping for two days. This winter weather has been awful on my manicure, but I am planning on experimenting with some base coats to see if any help.


After two days, and a chip, I touched up my mani and topped it with one coat of China Glaze's "Golden Enchantment" but apparently I didn't take a picture of it. Either way the gold holo worked well with the BBQ sauce.

Before I go I feel I should mention that this is a very morbidly named polish. As a Chicagoan I have heard the story of how Mrs O'Leary's cow knocked over the lantern that supposedly started the Chicago fire. That same fire burned down a lot of the city (having been mainly wood at the time). I can't even imagine what Mrs O'Leary would be putting BBQ on...maybe it was her cow?

Until next time,
Happy Painting!
