OPI and Apple Pie + Adoree Salmon Stream

The infamous OPI and Apple Pie that I swapped for through MUA.

OPI and Apple Pie
You know, it's not that bad. It's just dull. Applied really well in two coats. Reminds me of kinda old apple pie filling (mmm, appetizing). Brownish orangey creme. When I put it on, I realized it would make a great base for the slightly sheer...

Adoree Salmon Stream over OPI and Apple Pie



Orange-pink-gold-bronze duochrome (two coats over OPI and Apple Pie). Alas, it looks better in the bottle than on the nail but I still think it's pretty. I am woefully behind on my Adoree swatches (this was sent to me for review). And this is an example of that which plagues my desire to freshen manis up after a day of wear: I can never find a good topcoat that will dry the sucker and then end up with creases and dents and all sorts of ugly. :( The hell? My usual topcoats that work well with the first polish application don't work. And none of the other ones work for me either. Am I just cursed?
