Before & After: Solar Flare

(Nothing to disclose)

Hello!

Oh yes, I have a honey of a polish to show you today...

Do you love duochromes?
Do you love holos?
Do you love fall colors?

Then you're gonna love this one. Yes, ladies and gents, take a look at Picture Polish Solar Flare:

There's only one thing wrong with this polish, and that's simply that this is three coats. I do wish it covered like this in three, but you know what? Sometimes life is like that.

I'm always torn about decorating polishes like this--I don't want to cover too much of the awesomeness, and I'll often just do a single accent nail. I wanted to do something a little more, but that still didn't cover too much; I took my inspiration from the polish's name:

Is it just me, or does it look like that sun and moon are making out just a little?

To create my solar flare look, I used Sally Hansen Orange Impulse, Red-io Active, and Lightning; I used MoYou London Sci-Fi plate 07 and Winstonia W217.

What I like about this look: It lets the beautiful base polish sine through, while giving just a little bit of extra-special. I also love both the polish and this manicure for the pretty fall colors.

Hope you're having a happy fall so far!
