wow THANK YOU everyone for replying and helping her so fast. I'm slow and a bit behind on my emails. Kay, all the advice you got is spot on. Sometimes, not stiring the gel enough will get you a shear application. Some colors are meant to be on the shear side. If you don't like them shear, then no worries, you are not stuck with them. YOU can actually mix our colors with each other and make new ones. So if something is on the shear side, go ahead and mix it with an opaque color and create something new and fabulous.
My dealer for Croatia was here yesterday and today. She gave me some of her favorite color combinations. One was Garden of Eden Red (blue red) and Carrot. It makes a true yellow red that I don't have in the line yet. It's a 50 / 50 mix. So mix your colors, a third coat is definitely ok. I like to do super thin coats and throw a third coat with spot on application. Kind Regards, Elaine T.
