I was totally suckered into purchasing a few Orly nail polishes by a very successful targeted Facebook ad. The videos for their Super Blooms line were so gorgeous (visual ASMR for a perfectionist like me), I just had to own them, and a few others, once I browsed the website. I was a home manicure devotee when I was younger, but I just couldn’t justify the time, effort and money as I got older. With my lifestyle, my nails inevitably chipped within what seemed like minutes. What a waste. But seeing those beautifully shot clips of beautifully painted nails made me want to give it a try again, if only for the summer. So I placed my order for my very first Orly polishes and, as soon as they arrived, slapped on two coats of this shade. No prep work, no basecoat - I was too excited to wait. But in my excitement, I’d forgotten that I still needed to wash a sink full of dishes. And I still needed to get a shower. I was resigned to the fact that by the end of the night, my newly beautified nails would be chipped and marred. But...they weren’t. They survived washing the dishes and showering...and gardening and cleaning the house and any other task I threw at them over the very busy weekend. And here I am, three days later, with a perfect manicure. I am SO impressed with the quality of this polish. It’s delicate and subtle, but striking and impactful. I never would have taken such a long hiatus from doing my nails had I know a polish existed that could keep up with my lifestyle. Well…
