The first coat is just a light wash of pink, so it can be used in a French manicure otherwise it can be built to look like what it is in my photos with 3 slightly thick coats. There were a few streaks at first but it slowly evens itself out on the nails. Formula was on the runny side so you’ll need to take off the excess before you start working.

With so many coats you might want to refrain from doing anything before it dries a bit. In the space of 10-20 minutes I’ve smudged a few nails on my right hand, the lucky thing is you could smooth everything back out carefully. You could still see the visible nail line but it’s nothing too noticeable unless you stare closely at it.
