I did 2 coats of the base color for an opaque finish.
This is the order I actually put everything on.
Sally Hansen Ultimate Shield Base and Top Coat (as a base)
WetnWild Fast Dry Nail Color in 31C Buffy the Violet Slayer
Sally Hansen HD Nail Color in 10 LCD
Out the Door Top Coat for Nails
Again, I am not going to show my toes online, so I swatched the color on my nail wheel.
