notd: polish/treatment comparison


ok! so with the hautelook orly sale the other day, i saw the beverly hills [french] manicure set, which piqued my interest. it had a sheer pink polish (called plum) in it and i had to try it! i've been looking around for a sheer pink that works similar to the ones used in nail salons for french manicures and i think this is it! i recently bought it, so i haven't actually attempted an at home french with it, but over my bare nails, it looks comparable to the pink gel coat. ...so i don't think it showed very well in the pictures, but my pinky and ring are bare, middle has 2 coats of pink gel coat, and index has 2 coats of plum. as you can probably see through the two bottles, the plum is a lot darker than pink gel coat but on the nails, one coat still looks fairly natural and two coats makes your whites pink. just be careful: plum is very thin, so it's easy to accidentally glob it on. for the price, plum all the way, maybe with a topcoat. we'll have to see. i didn't use a topcoat today. orly beverly hills plum was about $8 at cvs and perfect formula pink gel coat is $30 at sephora. ~L-c ^.~
