either a bad batch or a fake [SEP] i think i either got a bad batch or a fake the gel bottle seemed over full so that i couldn t put the cap back on without it overflowing and making a mess application had tons of micro bubbles they did eventually smooth out before i cured had decent opacity after two coats lacquer color was separated and won t mix with shaking not sure if it s too thick or if there isn t enough room in the bottle to mix anyway all in all it s not what i would expect from a professional line of polishes
