From the colour shack on flebay. Was recommended via a harmony geek. It's burnished it to Arctic Freeze.

I found they last longer when you mix it into a paste and then painting on with a brush.

Put a blob of arctic freeze on a small bit of foil, then add a little bit of the powder and mix together using a cocktail stick. It forms a paste and then paint that on using a standard brush. Try little princess in this way too. And make sure you really brush it in to the sticky layer, and you wipe off any loose powder. Hth.

The sticky layer of the base coat or do you put a coat of colour on before you brush the gel mixture on? x

Do all your prep, ph bond, foundation, cure, arctic freeze, cure, create mixture and brush on, cure, TIO, cure and cleanse.

I experimented a lot this week and found brushing it in to the sticky layer, didn't last very long at all. By making a paste it seems to provide better coverage and lasts longer.

I tried these the other day and seemed fine. Until I washed my hands and one of my nails went like all crinkly and bubbled but as soon as I dried my hands it was fine :s any reason for this?
