But a normal topcoat before the tip is definitely not required, in fact it will only make the drying slower!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02748754920535871897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4799177799017560185.post-15139994842519353332012-07-19T02:01:38.055+02:002012-07-19T02:01:38.055+02:00I'm about to try this I absolutely love it!!!

And oooh, I think all bold colors look great on darker skin ^^ Something that usually works for me is to pick one color you like, then pick a color in the same hue but lighter or darker (ton-sur-ton) and for your final polish pick a completely different color that still shares the same color scheme.<br /><br />@J: You're welcome, and what a cute mani you made!

So give it a bit more time or apply the polish a day before to make sure it's completely dry. If it's the layering polish that comes off with the tape, try to apply thinner layers and always remove the tape as soon as possible (meaning when the polish on top is still wet).<br />The top coat I use is either Seche Vite or Sally Hansen Insta-Dry. SV dries quicker and glossier but can cause shrinkage, to prevent this you can wrap your tips with the topcoat as well. SH is great too, it dries slightly slower than SV, but I like the thin formula, plus it doesn't cause shrinkage and doesn't get thick as fast as SV.<br />I hope these tips were helpful and don't forget, practice makes perfect! ;-)Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02748754920535871897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4799177799017560185.post-71226527959210908092011-10-31T01:10:42.303+01:002011-10-31T01:10:42.303+01:00I tried to do this mani a week ago but it was an e...I tried to do this mani a week ago but it was an epic fail.
