FAQ:

What top coat/base coat do you use?

I don't have a favorite topcoat, usually I use the INM Out The Door (can be found at Sally's Beauty Supply) for swatches and the HK Girl from Glisten & Glow for manicures. My all time favorite base coat the CND Stickey. You can find that on Amazon.com or at Ulta stores.

Why do you take your picture and video swatches separately?

Since my lighting, camera settings, and tripod all have to be adjusted when switching from pictures to video, its faster, and helps keep the lighting more consistent, if I batch process all the pictures at once and then all the videos at another time. It also helps me get a feel for how to work with the polish if I do my pictures before the video.

How long do you let your nail polish dry between coats?

I wait until a coat is completely dry to the touch before adding another one. The time it takes for that to happen varies from polish to polish, but usually is around 5-10 minutes.

How long do swatch videos take you to make?

To take pictures, film, edit, and upload, it takes between 5-8 hours depending on the size of the collection.

Why don't you paint EVERY SINGLE inch of your nail and ALL THE WAY UP TO CUTICLE EVERY SINGLE TIME?

I purposely avoid the sides of my nails and my cuticle line when I'm swatching because I do swatches one after the other after the other. Removing polishes that are applied too close to the skin can stain the skin around my nails and make the next swatch look bad. I do it to keep the video clips and pictures clean.

Will you do a nail polish collection video?

My last nail polish collection video was uploaded on October 15th, 2014. You can find it here:

As of now I have no plans to make an updated collection video, due to the bizarre reactions I've received on my last one.
