hare polish - bury the hatchetfish

this is part of hare's illuminated life:  fall 2012 collection.  i have worn electric flame and have a post here.  hatchetfish had the same weird consistency issue, i used quite a bit of polish thinner and it still wasn't where i would have liked it to be.  i know that others have also mentioned the thickness of this polish, but it is worth dealing with.  it is another that just glows from inside and it is really a unique combination of colors.

the below pics are 3 thin...or 3 attempted thin coats (lol)  1 coat of gelous, though it didn't need it, i wanted to use it for the shine, and 1 coat of poshe topcoat.  no cleanup was needed near my cuticles...it was so thick it just kinda laid where i wanted it to.  you can see on the tip of my middle finger where it looks like a glob.  my sister pointed this out last night when she saw it in person. this must have happened as i was waiting for it to dry, i'm guessing it just shifted as it was drying?  i've not had a polish do that before to me.

i think i will wait before trying any new hare polishes to see if the consistency has gotten better before just buying them.  i still have quite a few of them to go through, so i am set for a while with this brand ;)

this was purchased from llarowe.

hare - electric flame

this is from 'the illuminated life:  fall 2012' collection, this was purchased from llarowe.  it's not easy to photograph at all, but it is sooo gorgeous in person.  the purplish flecks really are noticeable and the polish just glows.

i did thin this down a bit before using it with an OPI thinner, several people have said that it was too thick when they first applied it, i could have probably added more thinner, but i got it to work.

i used cult nails - scandalous as my base color.  it's pretty close, but not an exact match.

this is 2 coats of scandalous, 2 coats of electric flame and 1 coat of seche vite.
