All of my swatches are shown in two to three thick coats with Clearly On Top topcoat. The neons had the typical pastel type formula, meaning that some patchiness or pulling is to be expected. The best way to apply these is swiping once down the nail as you create each coat, avoid going over the same area with the brush until the coat is mostly dry. All photography uses a neutral color temperature bulb and white background with white bounce card. My nails are natural with no enhancements and no blurring/cream base, I have a fairly prominent VNL.
