OPI Amazon… Amazoff

Hi everyone!

I missed Sunday’s post again. That’s why I never do New Year’s resolutions, I just won’t keep up with them.

Today I have some simple swatches for you. I’ve recently won OPI Amazon… Amazoff from the Brazil collection and I wore it the same day I got it in my mail. I knew this kind of colours are the Evil stain-wise so I decided to go for a peel-off base. Man, that wasn’t enough! When I removed it the day after my nails were completely green! I hate when polishes do that.

It would be a pretty colour if it weren’t a stainer though. It’s a green teal with some shy shimmer. In the shade it just looks like your regular creme, but in the sunlight you can see that it’s a shimmer indeed.

These are two coats without top coat.

Ciao a tutti!

Ho di nuovo saltato il post domenicale. Ecco il motivo per cui non faccio una lista dei buoni propositi dell’anno nuovo: tanto non riesco a mantenerli!

Oggi vi mostro un semplice swatch di uno smalto che ho ricevuto grazie alla community beautytester.it. Si tratta dell’OPI Amazon… Amazoff, dalla collezione Brasil. L’ho indossato il giorno stesso in cui l’ho ricevuto. Ma lo so che certi colori sono il male per quanto riguarda il macchiare quindi sono partita con una base peel-off. E non è bastata! Il giorno dopo quando l’ho tolto (sollevandolo) avevo le unghie verdissime. Odio quando gli smalti macchiano in quel modo.

Sarebbe un bellissimo colore se non avesse questo difetto. E’ un bel verde petrolio con uno shimmer discreto, che si fa notare solo alla luce del sole. All’ombra sembra una semplicissima lacca.

Queste sono due passate senza top coat.

What can I say? It was a while since I last used a colour that stained my nails so badly. And it was mostly cheap brands. I did expect such a colour to stain, but not from an OPI to stain THIS bad. All in all I don’t think I’ll ever use it again. It was a real disappointment :(
Che dire? Era parecchio che non usavo un colore che mi macchiasse così tanto le unghie, e si trattava di marche economiche. Lo so che certi colori macchiano, parto preparata, però non mi aspetto che un OPI macchi così tanto. Non credo che lo userò mai più, è stata veramente una delusione ç_ç

    1. I completely get that! I know I have some untried polishes just because I'm scared they'll stain my nails!

  4. It's a shame about the staining because this color is absolutely beautiful. But it's one of those colors that you know will stain just from glancing at it.

  11. What a bummer about the staining! Either way it's a stunning color though! I use Julep Vanish cuticle remover for staining...it removes stains instantly!

  14. Yeah, I have this one, it would be a favorite but because of the terrible staining I just don't wear it. The clean-up alone is a horror show already!

  17. Yeah, I had some mild staining with this one and it's definitely a turn-off. It's so pretty though!

  18. Peel-off bases do not block staining at all in my experience, did you wear a regular base coat over the peel off one? If not, please do so next time, I think it will help! :)

    1. I usually use a base coat under the peel-off but I must admit I had no time for both this time. I thought the peel-off base coat would have blocked the colour on its own. So wrong of me :(

  19. Comprato l'anno scorso al Cosmoprof, provato con grande entusiasmo e stesso effetto. Ora lo uso solo quando ho già una base, e per la rimozione grande attenzione. Che rottura però dopo aver speso dei soldi...

    1. E' anche se spendi 2€ è una cosa, quando ne spendi dai 7€ ai 13€ ti rode un tot. Almeno a me!
