NYC MoMA, layered to make it opaque



Above 3 coats of NYC MoMA, layered over 1 coat of an opaque silver polish. I love this colour but was very dis-appointed to find it was horribly sheer, so I layered it over an opaque silver from Claire's. Seconds after I applied TC and Minutes before my photo shoot I marred my middle nail - DANG!


first 2 nails are 2-3 coats, nail on far right is 1 coat -  too sheer for me!


w/ 1 coat of silver and 3 coats of MoMA






Please disregard the difference in lighting and camera settings....and that terrible smear at the base of my middle nail.. Using an opaque silver or white  helps a pretty, but sheer polish like NYC MOMA to be more opaque and can brighten the overall colour.





Claire's Clean Slate - 1 coat


Claire's Platinum - 2 thin coats

    I would never have thought an opaque silver base would have that effect! Must try this.

    Pretty sure you got the names on the pics of the two Claire's silvers reversed, :)

    I LOVE MoMA over the silver, then again, I generally adore bright colours.

    That looks really pretty layered. I'll have to try this since I own MOMA.

    Looks amazing. That Claire's color is also very pretty. I never would expect that from an inexpensive brand like Claire's.
