I cannot get enough of the new OPI Muse of Milan collection! I think a part of my love for the shades is that I have been ready for Fall since June. It wasn't a normal summer for anyone and though we still could have patio season, I am still not comfortable dining out. If anything, social distancing and keeping my social circle super small (really my husband and 5 co-workers) has fed right into my anti-social personality. I have also never liked shaking hands, hugging or kissing cheeks and now I can use COVID as an excuse! While I wouldn't have called myself a germaphobe, I have never been all that comfortable with physical forms of affection let alone with people I don't know. Call me crazy, but I am honestly so much happier now that this is the norm!
I haven't done an abstract design in awhile and I had forgotten how cool they were to do! I actually took some time a few weeks ago to play around with the all of the shades and realized that the three OPI shades used in this manicure are among my favourites in this collection especially the burnt orange and sienna shades. I think I may even do a plain swatch with them because they are so cozy-feeling! I had wanted to add some hand-drawn leaves, but they weren't looking as crisp as I wanted during my practice runs, so I ended up using some leaf silhouette stickers that Born Pretty sent over which worked out nicely!
