Orly ~ It’s up to blue

A metallic turquoise

This is a beautiful turquoise polish with a lovely metallic finish. The first layer was very difficult to apply. It looked very sheer, but by being more careful and applying it more thickly, I got quite a good result. The second coat covered all the unevenness nicely.

Here it is with one layer of Seche Vite top coat:

I wanted to stamp on it, and I wanted to stamp with a darker blue. Unfortunately I don’t own Konad’s stamping polish in blue, so I went through my collection to find one. I tried “What’s your name” from Sinful colours, but that was too runny for this purpose. Next one up was a dark blue from Color Club, “Trippie Hippie”, but that didn’t work either. Then I tried “Metallic blue” from Klean Color. I remember someone mentioned on a nail blog that Klean Colors were good for stamping. I stamped it on my thumb, but it didn’t show up at all, a complete failure. I was of course seriously disappointed

So, managing to force a smile, I gave up on the blue colours and went for Konad’s white stamping colour instead. That turned out to be better than expected. The top coat has pulled a bit on the design, but it really only shows on the pictures and not in real life, so I’m okay with that.

And amazingly, when I applied the top coat something magic happened! The previously virtually invisible blue Klean Color showed up underneath the white!! I couldn’t have made it look like this on purpose, and I must admit that I think it looks pretty cool!
