Nails of the Week: OPI Warm and Fozzie and China Glaze Medallion
Like a toasty cup of cocoa, this manicure really warms up the color of my hands. I’ve been meaning to show you this manicure for a while now, but it seems especially appropriate now.
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m head over heels for the pastels that are being featured by every brand. However, I prefer to ground these sugary sweet looks with a sophisticated, rich nail color.
Enter OPI Nail Lacquer in Warm and Fozzie ($8.50 US). A chocolately metallic bronze that flashes pink and green duochrome, this color works surprisingly well with outfits consisting of mint green and fluffy cream pieces.
The beautiful metallic foiled finish helps Warm and Fozzie shine in the light, but also contributes towards its smooth pigmentation. I’m wearing two coats above.
I’m not a huge fan of accent nails, but spontaneously I decided to layer a coat of China Glaze Nail Lacquer in Medallion ($3.50 US) on my thumbnail just to see what would happen.
And what do you know, magic! This meant-to-be-layered lacquer is a sheer golden glitter with holographic silver particles. The overall effect is more subtle than it appears in the bottle, but the yellow-gold tones really complement Warm and Fozzie.
What nail colors are you wearing with pastel hues? Thoughts on accent nail manicures?

Hi Reena,
The pair makes me think of a glam tan from vacationing at the beach!
