The consistency of Weather the Storm is fluid and dense with a medium-to-thicker viscosity and a full-bodied flow over the nail that went on best for me in generous coats from a well-loaded brush. It sets up quickly, and has that sort of "stick-to-itself" quality that I described the other day, where it seems to prefer sticking to the brush than flowing onto the nail, and likes a firm, brisk hand to push it where you want it to go. Self-leveling properties are very good, as is pigmentation, which tends to be a little patchy and uneven on the first coat but can be built to wearable opacity in two generous coats or three moderate ones. Cleanup is easy. Weather the Storm dries naturally in fairly good time to a slightly flat finish that looks best with a glossy topcoat, which will also smooth out any uneven areas.
Photos show three coats of Weather the Storm over basecoat with a topcoat of Seche Vite.

Although I found the formula a little difficult to work with, other reviewers had no issues at all, so YMMV.
Great color!

Thank you for showcasing this beauty!! I ADORE these almost granite-like, kinda porcelain-like polishes. SUCH a welcome change from glitters, textures...holos....and flakies.
ReplyDeleteI've had a keek at their web store, and I'm sensing a purchase in the near future :)
You're so welcome, Cath, and you're right -- they are very granite-like! Be warned, it is near about impossible to stop at one or two of these dusty cremes. When I shopped there, I ended up buying six of them!
