It seems all the nail polish companies are jumping on the 2 step bandwagon.
The idea is that you use a base coat and buy their special top coat to create a gel looking mani at home.
So I did an experiment. By accident.
I was at Ulta and I wanted a new nail polish but I didn't want to spend a lot. I wanted a clearance $2 polish and I didn't even care what color - But I saw ORLY Epix in "Cameo", I liked the color, it's 50% off, lets go!
But then on the drive home I looked at the bottle and saw "Step 1 Flexible Color".
Crap.
Was I supposed to buy a Step 2? Was it gonna not work at all without it?
I googled it but I couldn't find anything so I did my own experiment to find out.
Can you use ORLY EPIX without the Step 2 Sealant Top Coat? Find out after the break!
