Terri, I've found that if you remove the tacky layer after curing the base coat, then applying the dark color over that it will not shrink and it cures and wears fine. I actually do this with all of the colors. There is no need to buff the shine from the base coat either, however, if you got a fuzzy or dust in there or your nail is ridged or has bumps in it, lightly buffing will give you a more even surface to apply the color to.
