Blklakfjkhfkdldkcjkr.<br /><br />Maybe I'll recharge and repeat it all later, but in an abridged summary: I do indeed use a quick-dry topcoat, and when I said was talking about magical one-coaters I was actually very vaguely referring to any number of magical one-coater reviews that I myself cannot duplicate, haha. Gosh, now I just feel exhausted! :PMarisa Sprinklepuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14174436310379261208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026431379907947468.post-4298907895866306182015-04-12T16:08:04.279-04:002015-04-12T16:08:04.279-04:00How could I forget Girly Bits?

Do you not use one? I wouldn't be able to blog without it. Besides speeding up the drying process overall, it surface dries in a skinny minute thus offering real protection from dings and smears. I get up from topcoating and go right to the computer to type without a problem, though I try to be careful about it and not get a nail caught under a key or something like that. By the time I'm through writing the first part of a post, it's set pretty well -- enough to wash my hands without a problem and apply oil, which I believe helps to further cure the manicure. I let that soak in a little bit then wash my hands again to remove excess oil, then take my photos.<br /><br />Luminous is a good word for a polish like this one! In person, it's less yellow and a bit more dusky than you'd ever think from my photos of it. But still! Fuzzy was like, oh now that is very strange, and recoiled a bit in her chair as if she might catch something from it. *lol* <br /><br />One coat? Shoot honey, it took three coats and a layer of topcoat to get this polish on nicely. But I'll tell you, I did come across a review of it where the individual applied it in one coat. And in her photos it looked just as good as any other Spring Buds manicure that I saw while reading reviews! I wish I had more of a knack with problematic polish formulas. It's taken me a couple of years to really learn to be patient with them and not try to glob them on all at once. <br /><br />I think I'll have to get a better camera if I want to feature a true neon on this blog. I don't have a one in my collection, although some, like a couple of the polishes from Superficially Colorful, have been close. And now Mentality and KBShimmer have neon collections either currently available (Mentality's) or will be soon (KBShimmer's). I don't know if I'm lively enough to pull off a dedicated neon polish! Maybe a pink.... ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135968514878220352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026431379907947468.post-47091202819486048102015-04-12T14:00:02.513-04:002015-04-12T14:00:02.513-04:00You know, I'd had a casual thought about sendi...You know, I'd had a casual thought about sending you one of my pink neons this summer... ;) What an enigmatic shade this is! I've been sitting here trying to figure it out, haha. I totally know what you mean about a polish with a white base that is pastel, but brilliant and almost luminous, but not neon... a complex quality to grasp through images and words.<br />Ah yes, expectation and then reality :P It's usually the dry time that gets me- I notice most people aren't bothered by it, while I'm over here dinging things left and right, haha. It's gotten better, but busy hands will be busy. But number of coats will get me too; like, what manner of magician are you to have done this in one coat?? It's just one of the many reasons I appreciate your reviews <3Marisa Sprinklepuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14174436310379261208noreply@blogger.com
