Tiger Blossom looks very nice on you.
Thank U:smile1:

This color looks super on you. I wanted to let you know that contrary to the whole push for thin thin thin, it is actually possible to put the polish on too thin. The top layer of every coat of polish that you apply, what is in contact with the oxygen in the air, will not cure. If you put the polish on so incredibly thin, you will not have enough polish under the “exposed to air layer” left to cure...hopefully that makes sense. There is a happy medium, I paint similar to what I would with regular polish, a fairly thin layer, but I more or less redip the brush each time to get just the right amount on the brush.
Ok, this is what I did...basically:smile1:

Great job! This time looks amazing!
Thanks:D
 
Also ladies many will probably be happy to know but the changed the brush type with these new colors hey now have a more short stubby structured brush like the gelish brushes are possibly even a little shorter like the Gelish mini Candyland collection
Here is the displays at my ulta
Nice:smile1: Maybe I've gotten old bottles of gelish, because the ones I have (only 3) have long, narrow/slim black brushes:huh:
 
That shouldn't be it then.



You poor thing, I feel bad you're having so much trouble with the base. I wish I could sit next to you and help!! Just take your base brush, wipe one side once in a natural way, wipe the other side once in a natural way and then dab, dab, dab, dab, dab. You don't need to like squeegee it, if that makes sense. ;) Does that sound like what you're doing?

And I agree with everyone else - that color looks hot on you. And that time around looks like it went well.

PS I got worried maybe we're not all talking about the same thing: we're talking thin, thin, thin for your base coat and then like kandc88 said for your color coats. You can def re-dip for your color coats.
Awww Thank-U soooo MUCH!!! I WISH you could sit next to me & HELP me too!!!! I think I got it....I think:p

They will be $14.50 I believe from looking at ulta.com
Only drawback is this polish u can't use your coupons :((( so u will check swatches at ulta but still purchase online as I can get 2 for that price!!

I have little princess but not camera shy

By any chance do you have a swatch of the OPI Gelcolor Kyoto Pearl? If so how would you say it comapres to Gelish Night shimmer or RCM Dripping with luxury?

I don't have Kyoto pearl but I agree it's more pearly white, not silver at all.

Camera shy is a milky white semi-opaque color that's ever so slightly pink. Not a dupe for little princess though. You'd have to do A lot of coats to get camera shy opaque

I wonder if I have a different batch because my RCM Camera Shy and my Gelish Little Princesses are the exact same color. Do you happen to remember when you got your Little Princesses? I just got mine in October, so I wonder if they have changed the color.....
