I got the fluorescent orange "tubocharged" after getting a dip mani I really liked. It is pretty close to the color of a construction zone cone. So VERY vivid.
I usually only use the quickdry/fastdry Sally Hansen colors as iIam terrible at waiting for my nails to dry. I did this in thin layers (tho even thin ones are mostly opaque) with no base and my first finger was dry to the touch before I was done applying my second! No tackiness or mushy-ness from nails or fingers.
Ultimately I did 2 layers and it looks pretty opaque. It does seem to be somewhat satin finish, so I added a layer of the fastdry Sally Hansen clear for a shiny topcoat cuz I like my nails to shine. But the satin finish was very pretty too.
I am also incredibly hard on my nails (can chip dip and gel in minutes of getting it applied). I do home repairs, gardening, engine work, bathing kids and pets, you name it. I am midway thru day 2 with this and no cracks, chips, or peeling yet! I will come back and add more when I've seen how this can withstand my day to day! Crossing my painted fingers that it withstands abuse cuz I LOVE the color and ease of application!
Update:
I spent the weekend power washing my house, cleaning rain gutters, weeding, doing dishes, and doing all the housework/childcare. This means I also took quite a few extra scrubby showers! Attaching updated picture of nails! I didn't prep my cuticles in the first one, so A lot of the lost color near the base in the update is just new growth, but you can see that there is some chipping. When I noticed the chipping, I picked all the lifted color off to see what I was still working which, which is still pretty impressive. Honestly, knowing that dry time is pretty non-existent, I'm not even mad that I might have to redo 2-3 nails after a heavy work weekend. Still highly recommend!
Last update:
Posting full week later pics! Has withstood multiple sessions of lap swimming along with previously highlighted chores. I also picked the lifted edges before this last set of photos to be sure the fully diminished look was provided. Still recommend!
