Ok, I need some help here:

I'm realizing that I have a problem curing my toes under the pro light. My big toe always cures fine, but the last two toes always have issues with curing. Are there any tips or tricks to get those toes to place properly under the light?

Do you push your toes so they are flat against the floor the whole time ( meaning your toenails are facing flat against the light not curled under) because most ppl small toes naturally curl under so they wouldn't be directly under the rays of light. Hope that makes sense!

I thought I did...although you're right, the small toes on the end will naturally curl under. I will have to keep an eye on that.

Well, I took off "The Night is Young" (it was chipping something fierce) and redid my mani last night with "And the Winner Is." I don't really think I like it. :sad: I prefer a darker navy blue, and this is a very light, bright, almost teal. Pretty color, but not really something I would typically choose. My husband said it reminded him of Katy Perry. :nogood: Not really the look I was going for!

I'm going to live with it for a few days and see if maybe it grows on me.

Does RCM have a dark blue, preferably something sparkly? I saw one darker blue, but it didn't look like it had any sparkle to it. I love me some shimmery polish. :) Or are there other SOGs in a navy color anyone can suggest?

I like IBD Abyss. It is a very dark blue. Almost blackish blue.

I'll have to try that one. I'm just really not happy with And the Winner Is. This pic was taken in afternoon sunlight inside my car.

Omg totally with you! I saw swatches online of this color and thought it was so pretty. I also thought it would be a darker shade. I had mine on since Tuesday and was thinking of taking it off this weekend :/

^ Glad I'm not the only one! I wanted it to be China Glaze's "Little Drummer Boy." It is a pretty color, but it just isn't right for me. Way too bright & teal for me. I'm a nudes or dark vampy colors kinda girl.

I'll probably polish over it this evening or just remove it altogether on Sunday. Too bad I didn't sign up for the SOG swap box!

It's too bright for me aswell, I toned it down by putting two costs of it over 2 coats of My inspiration grey. Much better a bit darker & opaque.
