I love purple nails so couldn’t wait to try out Feeling Free (lighter) and Pick Me Up (darker) from the new Breathable Treatment+Color line from Quo by Orly at Shoppers Drug Mart. I have already covered how these new polishes are breathable when I tried out Fresh Start and Power Packed. Check them out if you want to find out these 18 new polishes can help your nails while giving you a pop of colour.
I started with a base of two coats of Feeling Free, the lighter of the two purples in this manicure. Once dry, I lightly sponged on the darker purple, Pick Me Up using a torn latex free makeup sponge. If you are not familiar with sponging, you need to tear it, not cut it to get this look. Then on a clean piece of sponge, used Power Packed, the light grey from my dandelion look last week.

These polishes have an added primer/base coat and top coat but since I had sponged on the polish, I added a glossy top coat to bring back the shine. Takes away from some of the ‘breathable’ benefits though. I did try it without base coat to see how long it would last. After three days, I only had small chips in two nails. Since I am fairly hard on my nails and did not use a sticky base coat, this is great wear for me.
Quo by Orly Breathable Polishes are available exclusively at Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada and are now in stores!
