Orly Bonder Rubberized Basecoat really works!
The Orly Bonder Rubberized Basecoat Is my new and favorite basecoat. It really works well.
On the box it says… Bonder, a unique rubberized basecoat, grips lacquer to the nail surface for lasting adhesion. Prevents nail laquer from wearing off for up to two weeks.
Okay, I agree with everything it says on the box except..nail lacquer lasting up to two weeks. That would be stretching it a bit. I would say the longest my nails lasted was a little over 7 days, maybe at the most a week and a half. And that’s GREAT! I Love that! Believe me I don’t need two weeks, by then I would be tired of the color and trying to chip it, so I can change it.
When you put on Orly Bonder Rubberized Basecoat, it’s like a liquid, very thin but when it dries, you can feel it has a slight sticky feel to it. I’m guessing that’s the rubberized mechanism they are talking about. That’s what makes this basecoat different from others. Others are just a clear polish, just protecting the nail and nothing else.
Being in the beauty industry, I never used a base coat. I think because I was just using the wrong type of base coat and just generalized that they all were the same and really wasn’t even worth using. So I thought why spend the time or the money. BUT, believe me, I am shoicked by the difference Orly Bonder Rubberized Basecoat really makes! I am a believer now! …that you should use a base coat and a top coat, if you want great results. It is an important step in making your manicure last. One step I will not leave out again!
Rimmel London Nail Polish in Steel Gray
This is Rimmel London nail polish in steel gray.This is my new color for this week. I try to change my nail color every week with breaks in between, to give my nails a rest. So far, I like this color, I like the formula.
The brush is different for me. It’s the first time using Rimmel nail polish. The brush is wider, so I was trying to figure what was the best way to use it to get the best results. For one, you need less strokes because the brushes is so wide. So I think two strokes on each nail, one on each side of the nail making sure the sides get polished- works best. Then on my second coat I just do one wide stroke down the middle. I do like that the brush has rounded edges since our nails are round at the base and you can get really up close to the cuticles, that makes sense to me.
The color is steel gray, but to me it looks more like a deep pastel purple. OR I know what it looks like…..Poi, does anyone know what that is? You know hawaiian poi. If you haven’t grown up in Hawaii, maybe you tried it at a luau in Hawaii. It’s taro made into a paste like consistency…anyway I’m digressing. The color is nice but some of the pictures online are deceiving, I wanted more of a steel gray, but this color is nice too. Oh well! Sometimes you find a new favorite by accident.
