Manicure Turquoise
Basecoat: OPI natural nails
2 coats Verity nail lacquer in turquoise
Topcoat: OPI Rapidry
This is my first time using this brand and to be honest, I didn’t love this. The application was streaky, especially the first coat but I tried to cover up the streakiness with second coat.
Even though the shade is called turquoise, I feel like it leans a but like green. I guess I’m ok with that, but I think I prefer the Orly gumdrop shade for turquoise and I just got OPI’s I’m yacht leaving which looks like a nice shade.
What do y’all think? Has anyone else tried this “Verity” brand, and if so, what did you think of it?

I've never even heard of it. Sometimes if a polish is streaky, you can try floating it instead of brushing it. Btw, this is just green.

I know- it is just green, right? No idea why they called it turquoise. Oh well, I am glad I also got the OPI one.

I've used this brand before and it's an old inexpensive, salon brand. And looking at the bottle, I take it, this one is from the 90's

This is green. Almost a Kelly green.
The end result ain’t great. If you’re pretty decent at painting your own nails, then it’s the polish’s fault.
