I got this polish about a year ago or so ago. It was after Black Swan came out and there was some hullabaloo because it had a cameo in the film. Last time I wore it, I had issues with visible nail line (VBL), so I piled on coats until it was pretty much opaque. I’ve made peace with VNL since, and decided to wear it again as a palate cleanser after all the neons, holos, and foils I’ve been wearing.
This formula isn't horrible, but my brush seemed a little… Solid? I was able to work with it. The above shots are in sunlight with 2 coats. Bela looked a little streaky before a coat of Seche Vite, but good ol’ SV leveled it out nicely. I noticed the dings after I took the picture. Sorry! That’s what happens when one does a mani in the morning before work. J
This is a real surprise! So not used to seeing you in this kind of color!
ReplyDeleteAnd how do you get SV to play nice with Zoya? Every time I try it, I get terrible shrinkage!
I've got to keep you on your toes, Gail! :)
DeleteI've found that if I use Seche base coats, Seche Vite plays very nicely, especially with Zoyas. A nice surprise! For this mani, I used American Classics Bridge the Gap ridge filling base coat (I think that's it... Made by the same company as Gelous, sold at Sally's). I haven't gotten any shrinkage with it, either.
Oh geez - wrote a whole reply and it got lost!
DeleteI'll try that out - I do have Seche Clear. Sometimes I really want to use Seche Vite because nothing is faster or shinier, and when I do, I tend not to choose Zoyas, even if it's the color I really wanted to use!
Blogger has been super finicky lately! I also had a comment eaten and some formatting that has been very, very wonky.
