nail mail/notd! seche smokey & hypnotic

hi all! i haven't seen the seche lacquers locally around here, but i found them on ebay for a pretty decent price ($6 ea w/ship). these babies came in today! i got smokey & hypnotic. they're so pretty! hypnotic almost looks like black in some lights though, so in that respect it's not so cool. and i knew smokey would come out something like this so it's got my approval. these polishes are being marketed as basically one-coat-and-go in opacity. and for the most part, i agree. pending on how much polish you have on the brush, you can go one coat with these polishes. if not one, definintely two; some nails were a bit streaky and needed a little more, but i think it's because i wiped too much off the brush. i used: orly primetime, orly bonder, 1-2 coats seche lacquer, 1 coat seche vite. overall though, i really like them. i hope i can find them locally sometime soon so i can see the other colors in person, rather than relying entirely on online swatches. i tried cleaning up some before taking photos this time and fudged my right ring nail in the process. oops. whatever! ~Lin-chan ^.~
