As you can tell, I'm a fan of the half moon manicure lately. For whatever reason, I can't just do a plain one color mani right now.
Here's the application details in order over bare natural nails:
Sally Hansen Hard as Wraps
Two coats of Minted, which is a thin, semi-opaque creme with no shimmer
One medium coat of Poshe, which I let dry for five minutes
Applied nail tip guides onto space where I wanted Minted to show through, making sure the corners were well adhered
Three coats of Green With Envy, which was a VERY thin, translucent creme with no shimmer
One medium coat of Poshe over semi-dry nails
The first picture in natural light makes it look very blue. The picture on the right with the flash is much more true to life.
This is one of the only Orly polishes I've tried, and I have to admit that I was a little taken aback by how thin the consistency was. It would definitely suit the nail artist who likes to do several thin coats to build up opacity, but I don't have the patience for that. I do, however, love the color. I'm really drawn to blue greens lately and have been eyeing a similar color from OPI for a while now too. Stay tuned!
Hope you enjoyed!
