Dad’s Patio

I FINALLY FOUND IT! Did I overpay for it? Probably…but I’ve been looking for this one for a while and I couldn’t pass it up. I feel like a DRAGON (or at least a dragonfly) with this color! Lurid Lacquer’s “Dad’s Patio”. 💚 💙 ft. a cute dirty lil rock I found on the ground.

New Combo Unlocked

So, I got Last Nightie a few weeks ago (and I saw it called “About Last Nightie” somewhere else and thought that name was so much better, but anyway…) and when I painted two coats it looked very skin colored on me (like I didn’t have nails anymore, just fingers 😂 if that makes sense). So, last night(ie)(…ok no more puns I promise), I tried an overlay. I put 1 coat of Last Nightie down first, taking care to float it and avoid streaks. THEN, I laid down one coat of Sheer Fantasy over top and I’m telling you the pictures don’t do it justice!!! 💗 the micro glitter in the first coat shows through the second and makes them look like they’re glowing from within. New signature combo unlocked! 🔓 I’ve been making an area in my room called the “Shelf of Signatures” where I keep my signature colors, and I think this is going on there for sure.

1 coat OPI Natural Base Coat
1 coat Essie Last Nightie
1 coat Essie Sheer Fantasy
1 coat Essie Gel Couture Top Coat

Dad’s Patio by Lurid Lacquer

Yall, it’s all I can think about 😅 literally scouring the internet. It’s such a pretty color. 😭 and I can’t find it ANYWHERE! Does anyone know of any dupes for this?

Edited to say this is not my picture, I found it online but just an example to show what I’m looking for.
