Lacquer ~ Dopamine

Today I did something that wasn’t as clever as I
thought it was going to be: I mixed two topcoats. I have a variety of topcoats
for various purposes and sometimes when I have a couple of half empty bottles I
pour one into the other. My previous experience has taught me that if one of
them doesn’t smear the nail designs then it stays smear free even if you mix in
a smearer. Well… not this time. I mixed Moyra’s stamping topcoat, which is
smear free, with El Corazón’s Quick Dry Top Coat, which definitely isn’t smear
free. And dagnabbit! Now it smears like crazy, you’ll see! :(
Anyway – I used two coats of Dopamine for my mani.
This is a one coater though; three strokes and your nail is done :D The drying
time is really good too.
The stamp I used is from Lina’s stamping plate Feeling
Shapely! 07, and I stamped with a mix of a dark blue stamping polish from Born
Pretty Store and a White one from El Corazón.
Here’s my final mani including a layer of design-smearing
topcoat:
The design looks a bit like snowflakes on the picture,
but it isn’t. This is a close up of the design on the plate.
This is two coats of Dopamine, no topcoat.
Here are the polishes I used, excluding the now
smearing topcoat.
Dopamine is a lovely, lovely polish. Great colour,
great finish, great everything.
Number of
coats: 2
Drying time: Really
good
Finish: Linear

the drying time!
