Essie Gel Couture Wearing Hue? Creamy white with a subtle champagne shimmer.

Sinful Colors Out Of This World

I love the color but the formula is terrible. I am going to float the idea of getting a light silver foil to replace it - perhaps Orly Foil FX Shine or CND Vinylux After Hours.

Any advice or comment welcome.


ETA Ugh. It turned out so badly that I've removed it and tossed the bottle out.

Sinful Colors Supernova which is similar to Out Of This World except a little darker and more champagne colored. I expected to have another bad formula and have to put it in my destash pile, but the formula is actually a lot better than the other, so I might keep it.

CND Shellac Water Park topped with Daily Charme Santorini Blue Holographic glitter.

^^^ I just have ordered some CND VinylLux for pedis but haven't received it yet.

My Vinylux order came with a free top coat thrown in. I didn't realize it was a two step system--base and color combined, and then Vinylux topcoat. The topcoat claims completey dry in 8 1/2 minutes. I've not changed any of my polish to try it yet, but soon.

[Zilpha]

Wow, that free top-coat is a nice freebie - I understand it's a big seller. I've never found it necessary to use a vinylux topcoat, although I would love to have it - any good one would do. On the other hand, I never trust those base coat + color coat in one lines. I always use a base coat, even for those. It's a good habit to have, anyway. Top coats are optional for me. It depends on how nice I want it and how long I want it to last.

I am waiting patiently to see whatcha got.

Since glitter polish is so hard to remove, I'm being lazy, and simply letting it grow out: just added clear top coat, and now it looks like I have just dipped my fingertips in glitter.

Yaaazzz, more glitter!

From left to right- The freebie top coat (cures with ambient light in 8 1/2 minutes). Cerulean Sea, Pink Pursuit--which may explain the freebie top coat. It's old formula and doesn't match my Shellac Pink Pursuit, the only reason I ordered these, Blue Eyeshadow, Wisteria Haze, and Glacial Glitter where the glitter has stuck to the inside of the bottle looking silver, but the polish on the brush matches my Shellac.

Those are some vivid colors. That Wisteria Haze catches my eye every time I see it, but I've never pulled the trigger on it.

Essie Cute as a Button

My hands were finally warm enough today to start on my nails but were cold again by the time I finished.

OPI I’m Not Really A Waitress

I've got this one, too! My go-to summer red... Haven't had the guts to wear it off-season (yet), when I tend toward mermaid, blue, purple and orange tones. :-)

[Zilpha]

Me three!

but today I'm wearing Revlon Creme Brulée

[Shycat]

I've had on Morgan Taylor Tokyo a Go Go for a few days-- the perfect lilac purple cream---just regular lacquer over an OPI base with Seche Vite Dry Fast topcoat. It's chipped to bit and two broken nails.

I am rough. I am clumsy. I need gel to survive. My next move is to use my regular lacquers in their lovely colors over CND Shellac basecoat, and do the CND Shellac topcoat. This should work fine.....

Illamasqua Bacterium

[tigrushka]

Essie All Tied Up (along with quite similar OPI Schnapps Out of It! which has light silver glimmer instead of gold) - this is my fave paint-one-coat--and-go kind of shade that suits everything.
