QUO by Orly Gels - Part Deux with Victorian Lace

Victorian Lace is a very appropriate name for this new polish shade from QUO by Orly Gels. This polish makes me feel like I need to whip out a lace dress, braid my hair, and wear a raffia hat while picking strawberries. Or if we are more realistic here in Canada, try to catch some rays while enjoying snow whipping your face. Nevertheless, it puts me in a romantic sort of mood.

I don't generally enjoy polish this color but I think I know why. They usually look poorly applied no matter what you do, and chalky in the White-Out sense of the word. I don't think I've encountered a polish this pale that I've loved. Except maybe this one, but it's completely different. My preferred nudes are usually beige or blush colored. I never find shades like Victorian Lace work for me. However, I've been proven wrong.

This is two coats with a Gelish base coat and top coat.

The thing that is making me like this polish a lot is that because it is a gel nail polish, the edges of the color are not sharp or chalky looking. They are soft and blended. The polish is sheer so it doesn't look chunky.

 

I really like the softness of this polish. It's conservative and girlie, and while it's not a very "me" shade, I quite like the freshness of it. I've got to try new things sometimes! 

This is my second review of the QUO by Orly Gels. For my first review, click here. So far, this polish has survived a piping hot bath, lugging and lifting bins for work, and layer after layer of hand cream. It's not bad for 4 days as there is not one chip in the polish. These retail for $10 at Shoppers Drug Mart.

I have two more shades picked out to review - hopefully I'll be able to test them out soon!

Hope you're all having a good weekend! I'm having a pretty good one so far! Off to do a bit of retail therapy now!
