I thought I'd show you Orly Prisma Gloss Silver this morning because it's an exceptionally nice fine holographic glitter top coat, my favorite of the ones available in brick and mortar stores in this area, but I rarely hear anything about it.
I started out with base coat, two coats of Orly Pixie Stix, one coat of Orly Prisma Gloss Silver, then one of China Glaze Fast Forward. This is the first time I've used Fast Forward, and it's pretty nice. It dried all the polish thoroughly and quickly, but it's not very shiny. Still, sometimes I'd rather just get a manicure totally dry in the evening so I can go to sleep without getting sheet marks, then just shine it up with a non quick dry top coat in the morning, so it's nice to know this works well for the drying part.
With Prisma Gloss, using one coat was good because I usually need more than one coat to get as much glitter as I like. Since I only use glitters like this for layering, being able to shave a coat off the total count matters - the difference between two coats of color and three isn't huge, but beyond that I always have a sense of lots of question marks around whether a manicure will dry well, and I've messed up more than I could count waiting for a lot of coats to dry. With a total of three coats of color on this one, it's dried really well. Here it is in sunlight.

I have the gold version of this as well, but I don't recall ever trying it out. I'll break it out this week so we can see if it's as cool as Prisma Gloss Silver.
That's what I know, so until next time, Dear reader, love and nail polish to you!
