Alpine Snow

So I know it's been a few months since I've posted about the nail polish color of the month, but I have been waiting to talk about this color since it is my absolute FAVORITE for the summer! 

June/July nail color of the month(s): ALPINE SNOW

To the untrained eye it may look like "white", but friends, let me tell you, it is much more than that. I am not a person that wears white nail polish a lot due to the following reasons: 

1. A big part of me feels like I'm wearing white out

2. I feel weird wearing white after labor day ( I don't follow this fashion rule exclusively, or at all to be honest, but for some reason i don't like wearing it on my finger nails after September)

and the biggest reason...

3. I'M NOT TAN 3 out of the 12 MONTHS OF THE YEAR. 

I love the way white nail polish looks on tan skin, I only use it about 3 times a year, but it is well worth it. I think the contrast of the white against a nice golden brown looks pretty sweet! 

Let me tell you more about this color, "Alpine Snow". OPI describes it as "Fresh, crisp white, perfect for French-look tips". I don't think of it as a color for "French-look tips" because it's not 2006 anymore, but I do think it is a crisp white. One of the hesitations I had about the color was if it was going to be too sheer and if I would have to apply multiple layers, but it's actually pretty thick and only needs 2 coats max. 

I do think there is a thin line where it starts to look like white out, so be careful, but I HIGHLY recommend you wear it whilst rockin' a nice, summer tan!
