Mainstream Mani Monday-Orly Stratosphere, Essie I Need a Vacation

I love light polishes, but sometimes they don’t love me. This one loved me! LOL! Orly Stratosphere.

To be fair, this isn’t really white- in my app, whoever put it in characterized it as a pastel blue?? I don’t see that, I see a purple leaning gray.

See? And it was a little patchy, you can see it mostly on my ring finger. But I really love this color.

This was a color pass color, it’s a great transition from winter to spring- or a base for a topper!

I think I did three coats- at least two.

Now on to one of the most horrible formula polishes I’ve ever used, Essie Need a Vacation.

Thin, runny, patchy, terrible brush. Almost like pink water.

This was three coats- three HARD WON coats- lol, and it’s still terrible.

The color is fine, lol. But just no. I think I got this from polishpick.com- they are/were closing out all of their Essies, so I blind bought a few after just researching the color. So this is an older one, and it was not good, lol. But I paid like $2 for it, so no harm no foul.

So highly do not recommend this one. I do love the Orly, though!! Live your life with love in your heart and glitter on your nails!
