CoverGirl XL Nail Gel in Overblown Orange

CoverGirl XL Nail Gel in Overblown Orange (2 coats)

 

Today I'm showing you the other shade I purchased from the CoverGirl display with the new "XL Nail Gel" polish.

 

Overblown Orange is a bit more opaque than Ample Apple, but still has a jelly quality. It's gorgeous and gave good coverage in two coats.

 

I continue to be impressed with this line- application was super easy, as was cleanup. It does have a nice thick look to it, although of course it's not actually gel...... It did dry nicely when I used my usual NYC Grand Central Station as a topcoat.

Today I'm wearing another of the three glitter toppers I won in March I in giveaway from Pop Culture Cosmetics.

 

I did just one coat of Wonderland (using a dabbing method) and got what I consider to be great coverage for a glitter topper. I waited a bit, applied a thick coat of Gelous to help smooth it out, and did my normal topcoat of NYC Grand Central Station and had a really smooth result. I do see some glitter shapes and colors that I didn't get in this application on these four fingers- there are also some black spades and clubs in the bottle in addition to the hearts and diamonds I did get in this pic- so this polish contains all four of the card suits.

 

Thanks to Pop Culture Cosmetics for an awesome giveaway- I'll be featuring the last shade soon!

Earlier this week I was in Walgreens and happened upon a CoverGirl display with new "XL Nail Gel" polish. Of course I had to pick up a few to try- Ample Apple and Overblown Orange.

 

I chose Ample Apple to try first and I LOVE it! It's a gorgeous jelly that gave good coverage in two coats. A bit of VNL is visible, but it's a jelly after all, so I'm not too bothered.

 

I'm impressed so far- application was super easy, as was cleanup. It does have a nice thick look to it, although of course it's not actually gel...... It did dry nicely when I used my usual NYC Grand Central Station as a topcoat.
