PRESS SAMPLE
I'm back with more new Emily de Molly's! Their Covert Base Coats. These bases are designed to help eliminate any visible nail line (VNL) you may have when wearing sheer nail colours. As we know I hate VNLs so these are right up my alley. They also double as a nail treatment as they have added Aloe extract to help prevent damage and improve the quality of dry, peeling nails. I can't comment on how if this works as I don't have any of those concerns with my nails. Currently there are three shades available (I have two to share with you today), however Hayley will be adding more shades to this range shortly. I think that covers that background info on these so let's take a look at them shall we?

A little disclaimer before I jump into the swatches - for my swatches I did use a base coat underneath. Why? A couple of reasons. One - it's habit for me at this point, and two - I found that these applied streaky without it. Now given I don't need these for their treatment I don't have an issue using a regular base coat but that being said you may need to use two coats to even these polishes out.
#1
Of the two shades this one is a little more "sheer" than #2 but it's still quite opaque (as you can tell from my swatch. For my swatch I used one coat (over a clear base coat). My other swatches I used one coat of Emily de Molly City Of Lights and then two coats of the same polish. For reference when I have worn this polish by itself I have worn four coats.

#2
This shade is more opaque than #1. Again, I used one coat over a clear base coat and then swatched City Of Lights over the top.
