Orly Shockwave in Stereo

Until now, I didn’t fully appreciate the term ”squishy” to describe polish. But “squishy” is the very first word that came to mind when I got to the second coat of Orly Shockwave. It’s a squishy, royal blue, creamy jelly. It’s also a very pretty blue that fills the void between summer neon and winter navy. I think I actually prefer this on shorter nails. Shockwave does remind me of China Glaze Manhunt…but I haven’t compared them yet.
For some reason, the name Shockwave immediately reminded me of stereo speakers. I tried something new and dressed this mani up with some studded nail polish strips (unfortunately, I don’t know the brand!). They are clear and meant to cover the whole nail. I cut them into rows and applied them at different heights, starting at the tip. I skipped a topcoat.
You can purchase polish from the Orly Electronica Collection at Beauty Stop Online for only $6.50!
