I liked the way this one looked without a glossy finish, so I added a matte gel topcoat over it.  This is one of those shades that people either love or hate. I love it.

It seemed right to wear these together since they look so good next to each other in the bottles. I keep forgetting how much I like dotted manis.

I felt like wearing a fun multicolored mani. The sponged base colors didn't come out as deep as I intended but the end result was still enjoyable.

Wow, I've had this one unworn for at least 8 years! The last one from this brand that I wore for a full mani was the lovely blue one - Star. I'm glad I held on to this one - the color is quite lovely, especially with the contrast of the white stamping.

On the hunt for a 1-coat white gel polish. Obviously this isn't it.

Le Chat Dare to Wear - Peach Blast

COATS:

SOURCE:
Nail Supply House
COMMENTS:
I picked up a few neons last summer even though I rarely wear neons (because with such high contrast against my skin, I feel like I always need to tone them down somehow - like with stamping). I'd heard these were 1-coaters, but alas I needed 2 for my mani.

Nice textures - as always they look much better when completely dry (last two photos).
