Indeed, I'm late to the party again. This is my opinion of CG Mahoganie, last week's notd.
I wasn't very impressed at first.
It was opaque in two coats but with one coat of SV on top, it felt very bumpy indeed.
It looked all right, but being a feeler/picker/scratcher, that does not go all the way in my book. So, I was on the verge to turn the polish down as not wearable.
Luckily, just as I was going to get rid of my manicure, RL stepped in the way and I did not have the time to change my polish, just to do a quick fix.
So, I put on another coat of Mahoganie, followed by two thick coats of Seche Vite.
Heureka!
That's the way to treat this polish! After a total of 3 coats of polish and 2 thick layers of top coat, my nails were smooth as a baby's ... skin ;-)
As it turned out, if you layer it on thick like this, it wears like iron too. After a week I had to let it go 'cause of the color, otherwise I think it would still be on my nails a fortnight after applying it.
Beautiful hard wood, right?
That is a really cool color! I would be perfect for parties!
SvaraRaderaThis looks very good on you! My husband would probably love or at least like this because he has a mahogany boat. It also needs many many layers of lacquer every spring :-)
SvaraRaderaFirst:
SvaraRaderaThank You for commenting!
My oh my, I didn't write any posts for a week and I felt so bad about that, I know I'd stop being interested in a blog that does not update..
and when I finally post something - I get response in a couple of minutes! Really, you make me shed a tear! (I am known for bawling whenever I'm happy about something)

Actually, it works daytime too. The first picture is taken in bright day light (but overcast). It is not very blingy, I would almost say it is work save in a liberal place.
Amabile:
Thank you, and welcome to my blog!
My suggestion is, go get the polish. When he wants help with the boat you can say: unfortunately I can't help you, I just did my nails.. ;-)
LOVE this!! I have Mahoganie buthaven't worn it yet. It looks fantastic on you!!!
SvaraRaderaThank You Euridice!
SvaraRaderaAs it turned out I liked it very much too in the end. Just goes to show I shouldn't be too hasty in my judgements.

Musicalhouses and Kirsten,
SvaraRaderathank you! I am not a glitter fanatic either, I like glitters in the bottle, but I have few places to wear them in real life. This is surprisingly wearable.
Alia Shardae,
Thank you so much! I'll pass the tag on as soon as I've got some spare time (and I probably be the last blogger in cyberspace to do so, but that can't be helped).
Sorry ladies for the late replies!
