BeginNails Tip: Top Coat Smear Your Nail Art? I Found A Solution!

Greetings and Nailutations!

Let me set up the scene for you....you just spent 45 minutes creating some amazing nail art.  You let it dry and select a top coat.  You use 1 brush stroke and F&$K....$#!T...DA^%IT!!!  SMEARED!!  GRRRRR (yes, I growl when I'm angry....I get all HULK).  If this sounds familiar and the image below is something you see....


Keep reading and I'll tell you my hack!  The above photo is the same top coat on each finger, just 1 thing is different!

Dark Horse Lacquer Summer Escapes Shimmers Swatch and Review

Greetings and Nailutations!

*Press Sample*
It's been awhile since I've posted - I've had a lot going on.  My mother and niece were visiting for the last 3.5 weeks, the tree at the house they were staying in fell down due to a huge storm, I flew back to Seattle with my mom and niece for my mother's retirement party and then lastly attended the Seattle Indie Shop.  (Yes, I totally convinced my family to hold the retirement party the same weekend as The Indie Shop....#priorities!)  :)

Today I'm sharing the first collection from Dark Horse Lacquer - Summer Escapes Shimmers.  It consists of 5 shimmer polishes that can be swatched to opacity in ~3-4 coats, used as toppers AND THEY STAMP!!  I also have an extra polish to share that was sent to me as well!


Let's get to the swatches!
