I guess I never really think of Orly for "normal" things like cremes. Usually it's some sort of glittered or flakied polish that I think of when I hear Orly. But I picked up a teal creme and finally got around to using it and I was pleasantly surprised!
Presenting Orly
Sapphire Silk - a great rich teal creme! The formula was great and it went on smoothly with 2 medium coats.
Shown here in natural lighting (no sunlight) with 2 coats of color and a top coat of Seche Vite.

I can't believe how much I am loving this color!
Ooooh! I like that one a lot!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you'd consider doing a post on base/top coat recommendations, as well as pointers on doing your own mani. I got my first Essie polish ever (Power Clutch) and I've done five manis with it in the last week and all of them came out carpy. I usually use OPI Rapid Dry Topcoat but I've been trying to use up my Sally Hansen Double Duty base/top coat. I have had a hard time with the polish in general so I don't think it's all related to the base/top, but I'd love to read an expert's DIY advice.
My top tip: get the professional remover. What a difference, especially with the darker shades!
Thanks for the suggestion PB! I'm so not an expert and doubt I could give any useful pointers, but I'll think about it and see if I have any tips to share and base/top coat recommendations... *thinking*
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can answer this. I actually don't think my issues with the Essie are the base/topcoat (but am still interested in what you use). It's like the brush is too skimpy or something. The color comes out streaky in the first coat and when I get the second coat on, it's almost too sticky, if that makes sense. I'm about to throw this one in the trash but I got a few more Essies (it was one of their blocks of 4 mini colors) and I'd hate to trash them all.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually working on a post with my tips and tricks now thanks to you! But everyone will need to keep in mind that I'm not a nail tech and everyone's nails are different. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI have no earthly idea why my posts don't show me as the blog owner and my google ID keeps changing! If anyone knows how I can fix this, lemme know!
ReplyDeletewow, such a beautiful color, I love it, too bad Orly is way too expensive over here
