Neutral Look Blending Tutorial with Silk Naturals

I wanted to do a blending tutorial for my friends over at Painted-Ladies.com, so this is posted at their blog as well as here.

You’ll want a mid-tone taupe shade, a slightly deeper brown/purple/taupe shade, and a highlight shade that coordinates with the colors.

The colors I used were Silk Naturals Boom, Idolize and Lurid.


Shade Descriptions:
Boom – MAC Shroom clone, warm oyster
Idolize – MAC Idol Eyes clone, silvered violet  with gold
Lurid – MAC Moth Brown clone, plum taupe velvet  matte

Orly’s Metal Chic Metallic Matte Collection

Orly’s Metal Chic Metallic Matte Collection

So, I painted my nails Sunday evening with the Orly collection. As of tonight (Tuesday Night), I only have slight chipping on the sides of my thumb nails, and the edge of my middle finger.
I’m definitely recommending doing the following with Orly Matte polishes:
1. Clean your nails really well before you put on polish.
2. Use Orly Bonder Base coat
3. Paint 2 coats of the matte polish
4. use a fast drying top coat or something long wearing on your tips
Previously when I’ve worn mattes I’ve seen chipping within 24 hours.
So for me, this seems to be a very viable combination. Next, to try it with one of my Zoya mattes ;)
Have you been able to prolong the life of your matte polish? If so, what tricks or tips do you have? I’d love for you to share!
