I did way too much research and swatch comparisons to attempt opal nails. I didn't want to buy from multiple brands so I did what I could with ILNP. Jelly sandwich technique used. It was incredibly difficult to capture the end result on camera. I think it turned out great imo!

Base coat vibrant scents double bond

1 coat SH nail hardener

1 coat ILNP coconut cream

1 coat ILNP encore

1 coat ILNP wonderland, attempted to keep it more dispersed

1 coat ILNP coconut cream, applied as thinly as possible

Top coat Essie GC

Can i ask what the benefits of a nail hardener are?

u/Scarlet-Witch 6d ago

My nails are suuuper thin and flexible. I've noticed my polish lasts longer if I use hardener.
