great formula very dense pigments would buy againand have [SEP] i really like these stamping polishesthe pigmentation is amazing they apply well and dry fast they do not smudge if you wait for them to dry and then use a decent top coatthe only thing i dislike is the flakiness of the stamping polish around the nail bed when it dries it can be messy which is why a latex protector may help with clean up but that is no big deal once all is said and done a quick acetone cleanup or even a hand washing can remove the excessand once i am more experienced at application it may get easier to avoid too i admit i am fairly new with stamping and i would absolutely not remove a star for that anywayit does what is says it applies great and looks amazing it picks up beautiful with every stamper i haveabout different heads and different styles of stamper so i would say it is a good producti would but them again and recommend them to anyone who is into stampingupdate using it a few more times has shown that i just needed practiceit is amazing stamps beautifully i will add pics the mess that is not caught my latex skin protection can easily be washed away after nails are top coated and completely dry or with acetone and a brush i love these stamping polishes from bmc i have bought sets of them now the pics i am uploading include black stamping polish from this set and purple amethyst stamping polish from another set
