... used EIGHT COATS to get a polish to look opaque on my nails!!
This is one of my new polishes from Martian Delights and it took at least 8 coats. Oh, and you can still see nail line :(
It's a shame cuz it's a really nice colour too. Hopefully it will thicken up, maybe in a year or two, haha.

OMG I hate having to apply coat after coat, 2 coats is enough, 3 at the most :)
ReplyDeleteI did my Models own post today, so far its a brand worth buying :)

Susie, Thanks. I was craving cake at the time so I thought it was applicable :D
ReplyDeleteMarina, I know, it was so frustrating but I really wanted to see what it would look like.
rmcandlelight, I know, all this talk of cake is making me hungry!

yummy..
ReplyDeleteNo way 8 coats!!! No way!!! I wouldn't do it. LOL
ReplyDeleteI heard if you use a nude color first then maybe do 2 coats of the color that it works out better for really sheer polishes.
Love the cupcake :)
Hiya, me again, I had a thought, You said you need more pastels and I have a few pastels I dont use I thought I could send them to you?
ReplyDeleteI don't expect anything sent to me in return I just thought its better someone gets some use out of them!

So cute, and you're making me finally "see" some of the fab BM designs.

ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteI found that if you leave the bottle open for hours/days depending on the consistency it thickens up quite quickly. I wrap the brush in tin foil to stop it drying out as well.

So, it's been two years...has it thickened? :P
