Orly ~ Go Deeper

Orly ~ Go Deeper  

Sheer teal base with teal and green glitters in various sizes

Before I show you Orly’s pretty glitter "Go Deeper" from the Flash Glam FX Collection, I need to apply some underwear. I chose Ma.Nish.Ma.’s “Bolts of Blue”, which I’ve actually already shown you, here. It’s a lovely turquoise that dries up semi-matte.

I applied two coats, and here’s the look I achieved:

It looks as if it dries up quickly, but don’t let it fool you. Even though it looks dry, it isn’t necessarily so! Here’s the pretty from a different angle:

I tried to tape it diagonally, but the tape pulled the nail polish straight off. Oh how I laughed! I re-applied the two coats on the nail I ruined, and waited a bit longer, before I freehanded my design. I chose Essence “Midnight Date”, which is half of a Color 3-polish. I’ve actually also shown you that before, here. 

So – here’s one times dabbing of Essence “Midnight Date” over Bolts of Blue:

It looks pretty random on the pic – I can assure you that the imperfection wasn’t as visible in real life. And it doesn’t matter that much that it isn’t perfect – it’ll all be evened out in the end – just wait and see. 

Now for what this post is really about: Glittah!! I dabbed Orly’s really pretty glitter "Go Deeper" where the two other colours meet, in order to hide the line between them. And then I applied one generous coat of Poshé top coat, to even out the irregularities.

Here’s my final mani:

Can you see that it’s as if the unevenness of the Essence has now disappeared? It’s a kind of magic!

And from another angle:

This mani turned out exactly how I wanted it too, and I love when that happens! I find myself staring at my nails all the time, it’s sooo cool!

Tell me what you think of this, please? Would you also have freehanded it? Or would you have waited longer, so you were sure that the base polish was dry?
