White Cap has a kind of duochromeyness to it which I think you can see in this photo. It's a white base but at some angles it looks kind of blue or purple and the shimmer is gold so you see this cool tone then a warm flash - totally neat!

I've had a love/hate relationship with my Seche Vite fast drying top coat because it can cause major shrinkage, especially with polish that has a metallic substance in it like glitter or shimmer. I recently purchased a strengthener for my mom, which came with this other fast dry top coat called Quicken. I've never read reviews or seen mention of it on the nail board but thought I'd give it a try. Boy am I glad I did! I think I'm in love! Its fast, its shiny, it stays shiny and best of all NO SHRINKAGE!!! I'm going to continue using it to make sure its not just beginner's luck. ;)
Ross is the place for the Quicken, it comes with the Nailtek 2 for about 4 bucks! If it plays well with others, then I'm switching for good. ^.^ fingers and toes crossed!

Black Shatter is still fairly new and hard to find, its selling out all over because its endorsed by Katy Perry. If you can't find it and want a black crackle, look for the China Glaze Crackles, they released more colors than just black. I just picked mine up at Sally's about two days ago.

Yep, I cut the nails down to nubbins, and now I can type with minimal typos once again. xD
This could be unicorn puke, seriously. I could not capture it because lighting sucks right now, but the glitter changes from blue to green to gold depending on the lighting. Definitely a cousin of the pee. See the colors in the bottle?

It was super cheap, but when I opened the lid, I knew immediately why. Its really stinky, so if strong odor gives you migraines, this ones not for you. If not, go get it! Its totally awesome. :D
