NOTW: L'Oreal Breaking Curfew



















Breaking curfew is a beautiful, vampy, deep blood-red.  Love the color, but the formula and application was not good.  It required 3 coats to be totally opaque and streak-free.  It was almost a jelly consistency.  


























Thanks for looking, and have a great week!

NOTW: SHXW Grey Area

























Hiya!  Hope everyone is doing great.  This week I am trying a different base coat, also not using Gelous over the BC.  Trying to figure out why I am getting severe chips on about day 3 of my mani's lately.  So we'll see how this works out with Orly Bonder.







































































Which base coat works best for you?
