SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 day agoOooh that’s pretty! And what a cool idea to use 450 as a topper. I struggle with that one because I put too much on and get impatient waiting for it to dry and end up with smudges/fingerprints in it.
My current nail look
Image My current nails are Infinity Nikki inspired Neko Nail Cult in Vanilla Frosting and Canmake topper in Mermaid Scale. Same as you, photos don’t show the colour shift or sparkles at all, they are so much more pink in person. I cut my nails today because I’m scared of breaking them at work and of course they’ve already chipped.
What brand top coat do you use?

Ooooooo girl that’s pretty af!!! 😍😍 I adore the shine and how stark they are! Ooo I know they’re phenomenal irl!
I just use Sally Hansen top coat lol. There’s a clear one in a red bottle, and I also have SH’s 130 Bejewel top coat which I use if my base coat is a solid colour. I find the clear one dries harder and is more resilient, than the 130 insta-dry. It’s always so hard when buying a new one, I get decision paralysis.
I think pairing Reflection Pool with a dark undercoat (I reckon a dark forest green would be amazing with RP as a top coat) is the way to go.
I get impatient waiting for them to dry as well tbh, but found it dries quicker if I do multiple thin coats and build up colour that way. One nail always gets globbed with too much though and I have to redo it ha it’s the benefit of being unemployed: I can just paint and wait all day for them to dry. I’ll have to relegate it to a weekend only activity when I get all employed again lol
