Application was very nice. The consistency of Tropic Like It's Hot is fluid, light and fluffy with a medium consistency and a fluent, even, self-leveling glide over the nail. There's slight sense of extra bulk to it from all of the components, with a bit of tumbling on the part of the glitters but no egregious stacking and no stickups at all. Pigmentation is sheerish, building to evenly opaque coverage in three coats for me. I did my cleanup as I went along and had no issues. Tropic Like It's Hot dries naturally in very good time to a shiny finish with considerable texture from the glitters. For a glassy smooth look, I double topcoated with a layer of gel-effect topcoat followed by quick-dry.

This is a most companionable neon -- it feels like it's actually happy to be on your nails! I love the fresh, clean quality of the color, which adds a certain sweetness to its intensity and flatters the nails. I also like the sparkle, it strikes me as a graceful accompaniment to the color. This would make a great summer pedicure shade, I think. I've always done my own nails and have never been to a nail salon, but maybe this is the polish for that first salon pedicure....
love,
