Love it! I am suddenly jealous that all my nails are the same color... Hmm... I could always redo two of them!
Well, I ended up with both colors on because I couldn't decide on one and was desperate to see them both on!

Kandy, if you do the four fingers and opposite thumb at the same time I'm thinking that you can muck up one of the fingers when you try to do the thumb? Because they will still be tacky, or vice versa.. thumb first then four opposite fingers.. sometimes I even hit the top of the UV light case when I'm putting my hand in.. AGGHH I'm a clutz.
For my next mani, I was considering using bella vampire as a base, then use good gossip for the second coat? I like a deep bluish red.. figured the bella would give me the dark purple.. then the good gossip would enhance it to be more of a dark red w blue undertones.. My nails are still on the shorter side, so if I think it comes out OK.. I'll do a pic. But if someone is adventurous, please go for it! I also bought some decals of rose w a leaf.. I thought that would look awesome toward the base of the nail. Maybe on the pinkies or thumbs...
Several of us have done this combo, and it's awesome! I think ferretkingdom posted pics in the swatch thread.

And something else I learned from buying the starter kit... The directions on the cleanser say to use it for both cleansing the nail plate as a first step and for cleaning off the tacky layer, even though it is part acetone. I had been under the impression that there were two different products (although I myself just use CND scrubfresh and alcohol). Hope that made sense!
I have a weird thing happening with Good Gossip. The last couple of times I used it, I ended up with a couple of small areas of silver glitter. Is it possible I'm actually putting it on too thin and sort of exposing the glitter? Is this happening to anyone else?

You're not trying to file it, are you? I have not had this happen.
This is the last time I'll post pictures for awhile...I promise, lol!
I did mine with two coats Taffeta, Carnaval Hangover for tips and topped it off with Vegas Nights. Don't mind my left middle finger in the last picture...it has a weird nail plate and it makes the smile line look off.

Had my husband take a picture of all of them.
I have been hanging out watching the shellac thread, as that is what I started with, but this seems much more active. I have gotten several of the minis at Sally's and will do one of them on the next mani. I have a question. Is the chocolate mini and the sweet chocolate regular size the same color?
