Cirque Colors French Roast Swatch

    
Cirque Colors French Roast.  A mixture of very fine espresso colored microglitter, warmer brown microglitter, gold microglitter, and dark brown, light brown and orange small/medium sized glitter.

Like Dark Horse, this glitter is extremely thirsty.  It needs a minimum of three coats of good, thick, glossy topcoat to looks its best.  My normal method is to apply Gelous, then Seche Vite, and then another coat of Gelous on top of that, and sometimes another coat of Gelous the next day.  That's how I'm wearing it in these swatches.

  7. I can't imagine needing that much top coat. It would peel off my nails in no time.

  11. This is so pretty! Is Gelous a quick dry topcoat? I'm always looking for a good one. I like Seche Vite a lot but I get shrinkage problems with it.

  16. I bought French Roast and I love, love, Love it!! I have a question, you say Gelous - are you talking about the base coat? With the green top? Does it take a long time to dry? or are you talking about the Gelous top coat? You are putting the Gelous base coat on as a top coat? Please clarify for me. I love your swatch pics. Helps me decide what to buy. Thanks

  17. Bought French Roast and it's great. Beautiful color and the formula is perfect - not too thick goes on great - very satisfied with this polish soo so pretty I love coppers and golds and browns.Some of the polish I have bought online has been too thick . Are u using the Gelous base coat as a top coat? Or the Gelous top coat as a top coat? Does the Gelous base coat take a long time to dry? Do you put it under a UV lamp for curing (drying?) The way this looks on the nails is so worth the extra top coat.
