Orly Torrid Anniversary Mani

Hello folks. Last weekend my husband and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary. Can't believe it's been two years already! But a lot has happened in that time as well. Since it fell on a weekday, we didn't do any thing until Saturday when I we went out to a pretty sedate date night with a movie and dinner, in that order. We like to pretend we're old folks and catch matinee movies if possible. Plus with my pregnancy hunger pangs, it's better to have dinner earlier than later, anyway!

Of course, I had to have a mani for the occasion so I decided to borrow inspiration from our wedding invitations and try to recreate a portion of it. I used Orly Torrid for the look. For the accent nail, I used China Glaze Passion and one of the paisley images from the large Cheeky plate I. It had a few to choose from.

Here you can see the portion of the invitation that I wanted to mimic. I recently fell in love with the way the new Sinful Colors Matte top coat looks. It gives it a nice soft, glowy, satiny finish so I used that to mattify the finish of Torrid. This is not the first time I've used this top coat and I'll have to show you guys that look soon.

And here is Torrid, all by itself.

I have so many reds like this now but I loved using Orly Torrid still. The formula was wonderful and this was two easy coats for full coverage. What do you guys think? Did I stick to the invitation look pretty well? I love the way it looks with the matte top coat.

  4. The only thing that offsets the hunger pangs is the sensation that everything I eat is going only to my belly. Haven't seen it in my thighs or butt....yet! Thank you for your comment. I want to use this topcoat on every color!
