IndieAna- In Search of the HolyGrail

I love the interwebs! If not for this handy tool, I would find it hard to come up with new ideas for my nails. This is especially so for the following creation, galaxy nails. It's not new, though, I had not tried it until now, thinking that it looked too difficult. Enter Youtube tutorials, and now I have my own Galaxy Nails. Ok, to complete this look took a few steps, but you know me, of course it was easy! After applying Orly Bonder base coat, I applied two coats of navy blue, it's Lancome, but I forgot the name. Unfortunately I had to ditch the polish because it was beginning to get gluggy, I wish I had used it more over the years, which sadly, will most likely be the story of almost all of my polishes :( The first world problem of owning too many polishes.

I had already decided I was going to use a purple base colour and just wanted to add a splash of colour. I opened my top nail polish drawer that contain the nail art polishes. After some deliberation, I just couldn't go past the red, definitely a splash of colour..a very noticeable splash of colour, lol. After applying Orly Bonder base coat, I went ahead and applied Borghese Rapido nail polish. It is only labelled as a numbered shade. I'd never heard of this brand of nail polish before, but I came across it in one of my favourite ways of shopping..in a bargain bin :) The colour just stood out, and I had to have it. My nails required 3 coats to get a nice opaque colour that wasn't streaky. It is quite a thin formula, but it does dry quickly, so applying 3 coats isn't that much of a dr...
