Hiya! Thank you for reading me over here at Chelsea's Nailed Blog! And thank you, Chelsea, for hosting me :)
Today is Day 3 of my 5 Days of Greys circling through all the lovely Share the Love blogs. I have for you today something I don't typically do: polish layering.
Anyone who reads my blog will know that I am a die-hard Sally Hansen fangirl. I think their (her?) polishes are ridiculously great. Wet Cement is no exception. A lighter grey with beige-y undertones, this always seemed more unique than most greys to me. There's no bells or whistles in this bottle, so I think what makes this difference is the jelly nature of the polish. It actually makes the polish look like wet cement. Kudos to the naming department, I guess.

But then I got a bit adventurous. Well, adventurous for me. I'm a polish purist: no nail art, no jelly sandwiches, no glitter, no layers. But for some reason Milani HD seemed more of a layering polish than an actual base that would need like 4 coats to build up. It's semi-opaque, but with one coat over Wet Cement, it made my hands look diamond encrusted.
As you can see from the blurred last two pictures, this holo isn't particularly strong and certainly not linear. Either way, I still like this as a silver holo and am happy I used this to layer (although I can't say I'll be doing anymore layering anytime soon!).
Very pretty! I love to layer glitter, you might like Northern Lights by out the door. It adds a little sparkle, but it's not overwhelming!

ReplyDeleteI've heard so many good things about Out The Door products. I'm thinking of giving one a shot next time I'm at Sally!
Ooh I really like the silver. in the Milani, I just purchased that holographic in the purple and its a very pretty. I found that pictures just did not work well, didn't quite do it justice. Great Post!
