I love the Cuticula topcoat for stamping. It does not smudge the design. I am like you not a fan of Seche Vite. I too had horrible shrinkage. When you get to the half way point it gets super think. I also like the anchor and heart topcoat and it comes in unscentr
A smoothing base coat or a blurring base coat helps. I also started layering a peeling base coat over either base coats if I think there is going to be staining. I don’t wear polish very long and I do have ridges in my nails. I like glitter and shimmer and I really like sheer nail polish. I’d rather put the work in on the base layers. I am not especially prone to staining. With flakes and large glitters, I get much less staining with a peeling base coat. The more I soak to remove, the more the pigment seems to penetrate. I have used a weak peroxide soak sometimes to brighten my nails.
My ride or die is Glisten and Glow QDTC. Dries ridiculously quickly and stays shiny longer than any others that I’ve tried. I also like their Glitter Grabber. I use it as both a smoothing basecoat and over textured polishes.
I have been using Cuticula (I don’t like the scents though 😢) Glisten & Glow, and Mooncat QDTC. I want to try the Victorian Varnish top coat. I use CND as a base coat but I cannot wear it with white polish because it has a slight blue tint😢 I also use Orly Bonder. I no longer use Seche Vite because of the shrinkage!
