Thanks for dropping by! First off, ma...Hi Jennifer! Thanks for dropping by! First off, make sure that the polish is completely mixed. I suggest shaking the polish maybe a few hours before you'll use it, just so you don't end up with air bubbles during application. I also try to use less strokes as possible with medium coats. Once you're ready to paint, take the excess polish off the stem so it doesn't drip down the brush by wiping it off the edge of the bottle. Then do one stroke in the middle, starting by dropping a bit of polish close to the cuticle area and pushing it up then dragging the brush down. (be careful you don't have too much polish that you end up flooding it!) Then do the sides in a similar manner, except fanning the brush. (I have a visual of it here: http://polishedindulgence.blogspot.ca/2012/03/nail-art-wednesday-green-slim-silhoutte.html) I try to do just 3 strokes as much as possible and if it's still streaky, I'll opt to do an extra coat to even it all out. Hope that helps! Let me know if you need anything else. :)Carmelahttp://polishedindulgence.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105052689359510616.post-36252172771147134622012-05-02T11:29:56.881-04:002012-05-02T11:29:56.881-04:00I love this color!

I find it perfect to wear for those days when you're all colored out. :D I hope you get your hands on Tutu soon, Annick.

And yes, they definitely nailed the name on this one.<br /><br />It was! But I guess I didn't realize it then because everyone else was doing it, too, only with different activities like gymnastics or varsity practice. That's true. I guess age and time brings about that sort of wisdom. ;)<br /><br />Really? That's so cool! I was too much of a girly girl that I never wanted to be an international spy. I guess the closest I got to it was wanting to be a detective much like Nancy Drew and the Hardy boys! :)<br /><br />I am, just been busy tidying up around the house (every weekend, without fail, the house always ends up messier than during the week!). Don't worry about it, I've been there, too. :) Hope your Monday is treating you well!Carmelahttp://polishedindulgence.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105052689359510616.post-52669064902150466402012-02-06T15:41:22.198-05:002012-02-06T15:41:22.198-05:00Agreed!

There's just way too many out there that finding an exact match is difficult.<br /><br />Would you like to do a swap, Sophie? :) I can get you CND colors you like and you can get me whatever obscure brands that are nonexistent on my part of the world!

(Actually, ever since I was little, I wanted to be an international spy. I was obsessed with studying people's behaviour and coded messages.)<br /><br />Hope you're doing well, today, Carmela!

I own Pop Art Pink, which seems similar to me. But it requires three coats to get opaque, boo.<br />I have no CND yet, but I'd really like to! There are some shades on my wishlist, including all of the sparkle overlays ^^Sophiehttp://twitter.com/nailsnotrocketsnoreply@blogger.com
