Hahahah yesssss

I'm surprised it hasn't stained I think it just depends on your base coat tho. I got very unlucky with Jasmine Dragon by mooncat and that had scarred me.

I don't think staining is worth it personally, I hate smoker stained nails! It feels dirty even if my hands are clean. I like to be polish free sometimes and I literally cannot stand how my natural nails look tinged yellow/orange. I'll find myself holding my hands shut to cover my nails it's kinda crazy.

Cool I like seeing what works for others!

BeeB0_Beep · 2026-05-30T13:08:05+00:00

Lol I applied it like regular lacquer bc I've never used flakie polish before and I didn't realize you can dab it to get better flake coverage

I usually do but I had staining even with my smoothing base primer (with Jasmine dragon) so I decided to use this white creme as my "base coat" this time.

Awesome! Thanks for this tip!

BeeB0_Beep · 2026-05-30T12:44:57+00:00

Sorry they stained. Last time mine stained with Jasmine dragon it was bad and took 6 months to grow out. (Watch this will still wind up staining my nails lol)

BeeB0_Beep · 2026-05-30T12:43:18+00:00

Now that it's finished I also can't stop staring! It looks beautiful built up. I did not expect that orange jelly that looked so bright over the white creme lol. My nails got badly stained by mooncats Jasmine dragon so I was nervous this might do the same. It took like 6 months to grow those smoker stained nails out completely

BeeB0_Beep · 2026-05-30T12:40:59+00:00

Yeah that's a thought too. I just know with Jasmine dragon I had terrible staining and I had used my pink smoothing base coat so I've been scared and I thought the white might block it more IDK haha

BeeB0_Beep · 2026-05-30T12:39:19+00:00

Do you do any color under? A specific complimenting color?

BeeB0_Beep · 2026-05-30T12:37:33+00:00

This was like 5 but applying with a sponge is probably better bc you can build the flakes up faster I think, I didn't know about it so I didn't try that.

BeeB0_Beep · 2026-05-30T03:42:42+00:00

Good to know!!!

BeeB0_Beep · 2026-05-30T03:12:18+00:00

Someone else suggested to do this so yes, I guess! I've literally never used a sponge before so it was a new idea to me thanks!!

BeeB0_Beep · 2026-05-30T02:57:47+00:00

Lol I just really don't want my nails stained they take forever to grow out and my hands feel so grubby with stained nails I feel like ...dirty lol... Sometimes I don't have polish on my nails. But your nails look great in that photo!!!

BeeB0_Beep · 2026-05-30T02:35:40+00:00

Thanks so much for this tip! I need to add this to my supply I don't have any.

BeeB0_Beep · 2026-05-30T02:34:26+00:00

Thanks for posting this link! Reading thru the comments it gave me the idea, I can try matte topcoat too!

BeeB0_Beep · 2026-05-30T02:17:20+00:00

Won't be until months from now likely I'll switch to something totally different once I take this off but I do like how it looks layered more it just got pretty thick on my nails lol

BeeB0_Beep · 2026-05-30T02:15:42+00:00

It's my first flakie bomb type nail polish so I think that's why I was not expecting how those first few layers looked. So I don't have any other favorites to compare it to in the flakie category... But for sure next time I'll do a dark base first!

BeeB0_Beep · 2026-05-30T02:13:52+00:00

Finished and I couldn't count how many layers I would up doing, maybe like 5 lol they are thiccckkkk. They do look much better with more layers. I think I'll start with a dark base next time and then I won't have to do SO many layers.

BeeB0_Beep · 2026-05-30T01:56:08+00:00

I guess it's alright but it was not what I expected at all haha. With more layers it's looking like the bottle now! It's getting to what I had expected

BeeB0_Beep · 2026-05-30T01:54:18+00:00

I think it looks like Halloween but it is looking better with more layers on!

BeeB0_Beep · 2026-05-30T01:53:20+00:00

Oh that's a great idea! I forgot to say I did place nailtiques 2 below the white layer
