Polka dots on Pure Porcelain

Hi,

I thought I'd give my Pure Porcelain mani a summery edge by adding a polka dot design to it before I change my polish.

I chose several China Glaze lacquers for the dots:

• Electric pineapple (a vivid greenish light yellow from the Summer 2011 collection)
• Secrect Peri-wink-Le (a dark periwinkle blue with deep lavendar undertones)
• For Audrey (a robin's egg blue supposed to be the exact same color as Tiffany's packaging)
• Westside warrior (a warm and dark army green from the Fall 2011 collection)

Enjoy!

Feedback on Orly's Pure Porcelain

Hi,

I applied this polish yesterday in the evening and it already chipped on both my thumbs this morning... 

I hate it when that happens on day 2.

This might be caused by the basecoat (Revlon's 2 in 1 i.e. base and topcoat) I used but I'm not sure of that. I've used this basecoat often and it didn't seem like it made my polish chip. Maybe it's just not compatible with Pure Porcelain. I'll try a different one next time.

Those of you who have tried Pure Porcelain, does this happen to you?

Orly's Pure Porcelain (#40742)

Hi,

For today's NOTD I used an Orly polish I recently added to my collection but hadn't tried yet: Pure Porcelain.

This lacquer is fantastic! The formula was perfect and opaque in 2 thin coats. No goop, bubbles or streaks. As this often happens with nail polishes, I experienced a couple of bald patches with Pure Porcelain, but they were easily corrected whilst the lacquer was still wet.

And the color, oh the color! I absolutely adore it. 

I'd say it's a very light creamy greyish beige with discreet pink undertones. In other words: a great light nude.

I wish I had met this lacquer earlier, it would have spared me some time on my quest for the perfect light nail polish!

Enjoy!
