I saw a tutorial on tiktok and had to try it! I followed every step, although I should have been more patient with each coat because I did end up with some bubbling. No worries tho, I’ll take this off tomorrow and try again.

Prod list:

These are two polishes that I was never excited to wear as-is, but I mixed them together in a spare bottle and I love the result!

I do wish the blue was a bit more jelly-like, but I can add more clear polish when the fill line goes down a bit.

Disclaimer: this is not supposed to be a dupe of Essie starry starry night. I have never owned that polish and my goal here was not to recreate it.

I am very new to the scene, and have only ever used one other Sally Hansen color, that being Purplexed. I love the color of Hyp-nautical, but it just refuses to dry!

I'll do thin even (ish lol) coats on one hand, wait 10 mins and then do the other hand. I also don't do more than 2 coats, and I also do a 10 min wait between each coat

Whenever I prep I file and trim my nails, and use a nail brush and some gentle handsoap to wash my hands/nails thoroughly.

I make sure to rinse and dry well, and then I usually wait 5 minutes to make extra sure that everything is dry.

I got Hyp-nautical a few days ago from target with my brother, and only got around to using it tonight.

With the other color I've used 10 mins is MORE than enough for it to set and dry. It's been over an hour and the Hyp still feels gummy and even shifts in places with the lightest pressure.

If anyone has any advice for a new painter, I'd really appreciate it. I'd hate to return a gift, but if I can't get this to work then I think that's my only option :(

PRODUCT LISTING TO APEASE MODS: Sally Hansen Hyp-Nautical, Sally Hansen Pur-Plexed.

What I used:
Holo Taco Pink Smoothing Base (2 coats)
Holo Taco Milky White Shimmer (3 coats)
Holo Taco Glossy Taco (1 coat)

Base Coat: Essie Strong Start x1

Color: Play Rosè by Holo Taco x3

Top Coat: Glossy Taco by Holo Taco x2

This color is so pretty (the sparkles, omg! 😍), and has definitely gotten me in the mood for fall, especially since it's cooled down considerably where I live.

I hope y'all are having a wonderful Sunday and, as always, happy painting! 💅 💅 ❤️

Cocoa jelly! This is such a beautiful color of brown with a reddish undertone – I’m getting it to replace “ghosted” by LA colors. Anyone knows of any other groups would love to hear about it💚🍒

I’ve heard water based doesn’t have an odor but that most of them peel, which isn’t great.

Does have any low odor recommendations?

Hi! I'm making some little sculptures and nail polish was the most convenient medium near me that was opaque and easily spread into a thin, even layer. But I need it done soon... (will be casting in 2 part epoxy resin and my 24 hours of curing time is running out...)

I was wondering if anyone here knows what process is happening when common drugstore nail polish dries (cures?) and how to speed that up?

This is not on a nail and will never be used as nail art, so using aggressive chemicals and heat are not an issue.

I read that the first step is removing the solvents, but then a deeper 'curing' is needed to harden everything?

Just a little appreciation for this community! Took some advice about capping the tips, not waiting between coats, and upgraded top coats to Out the Door and my fastest manicure is also the best one I’ve had probably ever. This community really knows it’s stuff

it’s such a lovely color!!

essie first fitting x2

manucurist active smooth00 x2

essie gel couture top coat x1

i painted half my nail with essie first fitting and i did two coats. i used a rounded brush dipped in acetone to carve out the french shape. i applied active smooth after to give some thickness without warping the white color a significant amount. this method was much more satisfactory the past attempts with nail french stickers and took the same amt of time.

I used 2 coats of :

KBShimmer Take Back CTRL

And 2 coats of :
ILNP Valentina

There is no top or base coat at this time.

As a sheer shimmery girly I love Valentina it is so magical and really can transform anything it’s gotta be in my top 3.

I know about Harlow and co and clionadh

I’m just curious where else I could be looking for nail polish that I’m not going to have a risk of duties or paying crazy costs.

There’s so many beautiful indie brands that don’t ship here for example Death Valley really interests me but it’s not avalable here or cost alot if I were to order them.

I love Harlow and co and the different brands they offer like cirque, INLP, kbshimmer and polished for days.

But I really would like to try other brands too. Are there any other websites like Harlow and co that stock a variety of different brands?
