This is FIVE coats of FFF. Five! One-two-three-four-five!! I stop at three. I know it's a neon and a bit tricky to apply but it was just so streaky. After doing my left hand, I tried doing much thicker coats on my right and was able to reach opacity on about three nails with three coats, but some needed a fourth.
It really is such a beautiful shade and so summery, so it's a shame that it needs so many coats. Fortunately, being a neon, it dries incredibly fast. It also, like other neons, dries matte. I had a bit of a hard time capturing the color, it literally glows. Not in a glow in the dark kinda way, but it just seems like there's a black light over your hands everywhere you go. It's such a fun color so I probably will give it another try sometime in the future. I don't own many neons or wear them often, so my personal difficulties could've been just from lack of experience.
Do you own this polish? Did you have the same issues as I did? Share!
Holy smokes, 5 coats!? Darn neons! I have this, and I usually put this on over a coat of white and it definitely helps cut down on the number of coats. I think it helps the neon-ness stand out as well =) It looks fantastic on you anyways!
ReplyDeleteFFF is one of my faves! It's just such a perfect pink-orangey coral NEON and I love it :D
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty, but 5 coats?! Good lawd. I prefer Color Club's Electro Candy neons - the flash is gorgeous and they seem a bit more opaque.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful coral neon shade!
