OPI: Flashbulb Fuchsia & Nail Design

Ok first of all, yes these are my toes.
I find it a lot easier to make designs on my toes than on my fingers (mostly because I can paint with my right hand for both rather than using my left and right.)  I took this photos by the window - I was hoping for some natural sun light but I noticed that these are not as clear as I hoped they were - oh well, they give you a fairly accurate idea of the color.  
I adore this OPI colour. It's called flashbulb fuchsia. This colour is at first glance a hot pink. When looking at it closer, it has tiny silver glitter particles in it and a reflective blue/purple sheen (thanks to even tinier glitter particles). The result is this iridescent hot pink that looks like a regular pink but when it catches the sun, just sparkles.
To get this colour, it took 2 coats of polish (my standard 1 thin layer, 1 thicker layer).  As always, I used my OPI Natural nail base coat, and this time a fast drying Japanese top coat I bought at Daiso.
The nail art was done using Kiss nail art paint (in white, red, green and silver).

What do you think?
