Magic Transforming Top Coat?! (does this thing even work) - Summary

Summary

A nail polish reviewer, Christine, tests the Sinful Colors "Hypnotic Transforming Topcoat" collection, which creates a bubble or spotted effect when applied over another color. She finds the polishes tricky to work with, requiring a light touch and a specific application technique to achieve the desired effect. Christine also compares the Sinful Colors polishes to similar products from Dance Legend and OPI, finding that the Dance Legend polishes perform better. She then experiments with using the polishes to create nail art decals, which can be applied to the nail and sealed with acetone. Christine concludes that the polishes are not suitable for use with holographic nail polish, but can be used to create interesting nail art effects.
