Liquid Crystal Quick Dry Top Coat (4-free)
£6.50
15ml
This top coat is designed to do a few things:
- dries quickly
- it's a thinner consistency which makes it great for polishes that shift a lot because a thinner top coat will interfere less with the refraction of the light coming in which is what makes that shift happen.
- the thinner consistency also means it's not going to get gummy and you won't be adding thinner to it constantly like the thicker style topcoats.
- this is quickly becoming a favorite with the people that have been testing it, especially for shifters AND magnetics as it dries quickly setting the magnetic effect and there is less diffusion so you can really see the magnetic effect left behind.
The one type of polish this top coat is not recommended for are glitter heavy polishes. Since it is a low viscocity polish, it's not going to do as much in the way of evening out the glitters to make a smooth finish.
4-Free (it's free from chemicals toulene, formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate, and formaldehyde resin) but does contain the chemical camphor.

General Tips
- The decal method is easier than the painting method
- The painting method takes a bit of practice. Using this method, the fluid art polish should only be used as an "undie". Apply a thin coat of regular polish over the fluid art polish. Dollar store polishes tend to be popular for this because they often have a thin consistency, allowing for cells to bloom well.
- Try to work quickly. You don't have to be super fast, but the solvents that evaporate in polish are needed to keep the fluidity of the polish. This will result in larger and more cells.
- Fluid art usually doesn't work well with glitter or chunkier polishes as it interrupts the cell formation. In addition, if you do get cells, they can be hard to see because the glitter color can distract from the look of the cells depending on the color choices of polishes and glitter.
