So you paint your glitters on like regular polish? Every glitter manicure I've seen on your blog has looked perfectly distributed and even on the nail, I could never get that kind of evenly random coverage. Even when I dab it on I tend to get clumps and have trouble separating them out. You must teach me this skill!<br /><br />Rica Glossy Glam is on my list of topcoats to try. I've got a bottle of Sephora X Shine fast-dry topcoat here, have only used it once but it worked very well to smooth glitter. Supposedly, though, it gets really gloppy and sticky about a third of the way into the bottle but that's what Seche Restore is for right? I used to really like Gelous but I'm kinda over it now since it seems to prevent any fast-dry topcoat that I used on top of it from permeating and drying the layers of polish underneath. The thing I really liked about Gelous was how thin and easy to use it was, with the great big flat brush that stuff would go on lickety split and didn't add a lot of bulk. The Sephora X Shine is rather bulky, maybe even more so than Seche Vite.<br /><br />I love trying new topcoats!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135968514878220352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026431379907947468.post-41145249245013616662014-09-05T15:58:50.797-04:002014-09-05T15:58:50.797-04:00I'm not the biggest fan of yellows but I reall...I'm not the biggest fan of yellows but I really love this combination! It's unique and very eye catching. Not to mention those beautiful sparkles. I could stare at it all day! I don't think I'll ever get tired of glitter but I agree, sometimes it can be a pain to apply. What I hate most is when it's hard to get a decent amount of glitter on the brush but instead you get a lot of base. I've found turning my bottle upside down helps a lot. I've never done the dabbing method though but it seems to be pretty effective.<br /><br />Speaking of top coats, you should try Rica Glossy Glam! I've been using it for a while now and it's awesome. It's not an overly thick polish but it's thick enough that it makes all of my polishes smooth. It also hasn't gotten disgustingly thick with use. It's not marketed as a fast drying top coat but it doesn't take a long time to dry either. Gelous on the other hand, I wasn't a fan of it. I hated how slow drying it seemed to be.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05934916550977688111noreply@blogger.com
