I have stayed away from doing the ombre thing on my nails, because it seems like I could create a huge mess trying to mix colours with white or black. So when I received this, I was very excited to try out this trend with minimal risk. I had never really used Orly before, no specific, conscious reason. But was pleasantly surprised to find the colours are great, easily applied and dries fairly fast. Here are the results: Absolutely love! And I am now an Orly fan and have bought more of their polishes since!

This is honestly all my dreams come true. Essie Good to Go! Fast drying top coat. No, seriously. For some reason, I am a person that needs to apply 3 coats of polish for anything to look halfway decent and it takes forever to dry. So by the final coat I am dyyyying to be done. This top coat means I am good to go sooner than before (see what I did there). I will toot its horn up and down. For a great top coat and way to get on with your life after parking you rear for far to long to do your nails - definitely invest in Essie's Good to Go! the fasted drying top coat. ever.

My mother is a saint and sent me these in a care package: China Glaze- Strong Adhesion Base Coat I obviously has heard of base coats before but never really bought into them and usually that layer is reserved for my Witchcraft Nail Hardener. Well I made room for this and am amazed! The  China Glaze- Strong Adhesion Base Coat,  is crazy good. You can feel that is it, like, sticky. But not...ya know? I am also convinced that it takes less coats of polish after. I just used a really light pink last night and got way better coverage then I usually do. China Glaze- No-Chip Top Coat I don't have much to say about this one. The China Glaze No-Chip Top Coat does it's job for sure, but didn't wow me. Check my next post for the top coat I opt for.
