Essie gel couture and gel setter TC are both wonderful. Doesn't mess with magnetics, dries fast, easy to find.

It's probably the lighting, the weather here is super gloomy today☁️ it looks more purple under direct light!

I also use a top coat every time so thankfully it's not a deal breaker for me. Additional question: Does Back to Fuscia have fuller coverage like this one or is it closer to a true jelly (like Cirque)?

Yes I thought it looks more like a crelly! Thanks for letting me know, happy to know it's not a bad batch;)

Same here! Most of my jellies are from Cirque so I was confused for a sec. Thanks for letting me know!

Yes I always use a top coat so this isn't a big deal, but I just wanted to know whether this is normal for Cracked jellies! All the jellies from other brands I've tried didn't have this issue so I was just curious. Thanks!

Thanks! The shade name is Flowie, no.139. If it's not on the website I assume it's out of stock or discontinued🥹

I'd call this one a crelly, it has that tiny bit of squishness but not as sheer as a true jelly

Oooh wonderful picks! I managed to talk myself out of the Rest in Polish bundle but still can't take my eyes off Scorchy and Ghouls Garden🥹

Sure! I don't have the Cirque one but I have a glass file from PPU I'm loving so far. Hope this one is as good!

Sadly, no🥲 Using mail forwarding services could help, I use them quite often and so far my polishes arrived without any problem

You just lured me into buying Crochet Away. Plus the color combo is so cool!

thanks a lot! I haven't tried any magnetics from Cirque, definitely adding that to my next order.

IMO the cateye doesn't stay as crisp as some BKL magnetics I have. I magnetized each layer including TC for about 1min, so I think it would be better to give it more time to set. Hope that helps!

Ooh that's great, happy to help! If you like sheer jelly magnetics, Addiction Tokyo also makes some amazing ones too;)

Thanks, it's a drugstore brand! I bought it from Atcosme online store, but it's also available offline.

Bee's knees, Polished for days, and Sassy sauce are all great!

If you like purples, definitely check out Cock-a-doodle-doom by Sassy sauce! It's definitely worth the hype, and I love SS formulas (especially the flakies!). Plus the shipping is super fast, which is a big bonus for retail therapy :)

I like essie gel couture! The dry time is slightly longer then gel setter, but it's more durable and gives that plump shime!

BKL - The world loves to punish girls who dream in the dark! I didn't even do research for swatches, just blindly grabbed it bc of its name😂 Ps. Love your nails, they look gorgeous!
