There’s nothing quite like the high contrast pop of a (1-coat) white polish next to my brown skin tone. Gesso is also the perfect name for this treat from Funky Fingers, which I'm of course not wearing for the first time. I meant to add some nail art but never got round to it.

Milani came out with 1-coat glitters way before textured polish was popular. Silver Dazzle is one I’ve had for more years than I care to mention (first one worn in 2010!), and now I’ve finally worn it. 1 coat - with 2 coats of topcoat in first photo.

Lovely all-weather color that covers fully in 1 coat, but I applied a second.

Another lovely 1-coater that was the perfect base for some multiple color stamping. It looks like I was so excited to stamp that I forgot to take a photo of the polish before anything was done to it.

Quick stamped mani with my favorite 1-coat Funky Fingers basics.

I truly can't remember if this gorgeous blue was opaque in 1 or 2 coats and no longer have it nearby to check. Either way, it was lovely, and stood up well to the gold foil treatment - especially matte.

This lovely shade is super gorgeous, and even more so since I was able to get full coverage in 1 coat. I really liked the way it looked with the yellow blouse I was wearing that day too!

I first saw the stunning Fresh Paint - Sophia on an instagram page (@mannicured) and found it in my local store shortly after. This color must have triggered some extra creativity because I had so much fun putting this mani together. It has a bit of everything - layering, stamping, stripes, dots. The final result made me smile a lot. I may do this same mani in another color way sometime.

I still had this out on my desk from swatching it, and decided it was up next for my mani. The stamping didn't turn out quite like I planned, but was better when I made it matte a day later.

It happened to match my pillowcases!
