Orly ~ Glass Half Full

Orly ~ Glass Half Full

Sky blue subtle shimmer

“Glass Half Full” is from Orly’s “Radical Optimism” collection from Spring 2019. It’s a collection of six pastel polishes and I only bought this one. I’m not usually into pastels but this one is a very lovely blue.

The formula is great and easy to work with. I used two coats for full opacity and the drying time is good. The shimmer is so subtle that it doesn’t really show up on the nails, which is a shame. The colour is really lovely.

I dapped a bit of glitter on it before I stamped on it. I used Essie’s “Galentines”, which I showed you yesterday.

The stamp is from the stamping plate “Born Pretty – Artist – L003”. I stamped with “B. a lilac sweater” from Colour Alike. I topped it with topcoat to seal it all up.

Here’s the final manicure in daylight.

Here’s the same thing under a lamp to show the stamping better.

This is “Glass Half Full” alone; two coats and no topcoat yet.
