I was just going to ask what you thought of these, but I figured I should search through your old posts first.

I just painted my nails with “Racey Rouge” (#13) & was wondering if you had the same troubles with application & a bubbly formula. I also have the colors “Night Flight” (#24) and “Rapid Red” (#09).

I think I bought all of these in a sale a while ago, & also because they were advertised as quick drying.

I’m really disappointed though – I’ve had to use 3 coats and the brush is so big & difficult to use that I had SO much lacquer around my cuticles/fingers that it took ages to get it off. Some of the bristles are also crooked/not flat which makes application even messier. Also, even after 3 coats, the polish has dried with bubbles. It looks nothing like your nails in the above pictures. I haven’t used top coat, BTW.

And even as I type this, my nails still aren’t completely dry. So much for the “Insta-Dri.”

Thoughts? Maybe I am doing something wrong.

Bought this polish in #27 – Brisk Blue. Its a beautiful color and except for chipping easily, I was happy. UNTIL I removed it to find that it completely stained my actual fingernails BLUE! I have tried everything but it will not come off. I’ve had blue fingernails for over a week. I’ve had to wear other dark colors just to cover it up. Not sure if this is a problem with all the colors but be carfeul!

I've found these at Walmart and Rite Aid.

While I do appreciate the the pretty shades and the fairly quick- dry time, I do not like the wand. The brush itself is good – thick and soft. But the flat sides of the wand make it difficult to wipe off the inevitable excess into the bottle.

I love this product! I first bought the "petal pink" and today added "royal run" and "hurry honey" to my collection. "Royal run" is a beautiful shade. They truly dry in just a minute. And it lasts quite well, through hair washing, hand washing et all…about four days or so.

You're so right about the lime-green color. I can't pin it down but for some reason it is a bit nauseating!
Love the "Brisk Blue," though!

I haven't had any luck finding these around town either. The worst part is that lickety-split lime is the /perfect/ Seattle Sounders FC green I've been looking for so I can wear it to the games. So far I've been sporting just light greens, but nothing even close to the team color.

WHY can't I find these anywhere? Not even online! I've searched every Walgreens and CVS in my area They can't possibly be sold out/discontinued already, can they?
