When All Other Lights Go Out

Inspiration Photo:

Maker description: a white crelly filled with gold to bronze to silver multichrome flake, gold shimmer and flashes of blue to purple to bronze fleck

3 coats + topcoat

Formula: GLL tends to kill it with formula, and even this white crelly is no exception. No issues to report. I did ZERO cleanup for these photos! It goes right where you want it and the flakies distribute evenly.

Coverage: I was very happy with the coverage I got in three coats. Although you'll see I still had some slight VNL, I personally think a polish like this looks best when it's not fully opaque. I also tend to max out at three coats, but when I wear this as a full mani, I'll still only use three and be perfectly happy.

Overall impression: You guys... I'm in love. This polish is so lovely and delicate. I already love speckled polishes, but the added shimmer really makes this stand out. It also looks absolutely beautiful with matte topcoat. I took A LOT of photos of this baby, so please enjoy.

One last look at these #pridenails that make me so happy 😊🌈✨All polishes are @orly and the stars are from @cirquecolors 🌟 #pridenailart #rainbownails #rainbownailart #orly #orlynails #cirquecolors

Negative space #pridenails using several shades from @orly and stars from @cirquecolors 🌈🌟 #loveislove . . . I took some time off from this account and from nails in general to focus on what feels like a million more important things, but today I took advantage of downtime caused by cancelled plans (thanks a lot, coronavirus 🙄) and sat down to a podcast/nail art session and I gotta say: it felt GREAT. I still find it so relaxing to create these tiny pieces of art. . . . #rainbownails #orly #orlynails #pridenailart #rainbownailart
