Weird…

6 months ago

Pigment is fine, but it’s the way this polish layers that I have a problem with. I applied one thin coat, let it dry and went to apply a top coat. (Same brand) The top coat picked up the polish underneath. I have this issue every single time I use this polish. Doesn’t matter what I put on top.

Hello Maxwell, we hear you, and we’re so sorry this has been a recurring issue for you! It’s definitely frustrating when your top coat picks up that beautiful pigment. Since this happens every time, something must be off with the mixture in your bottle. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 866-313-7845 M-F 9 am-5:30 pm ET
