Quick Review, Zoya "Edyta", and a question

[sorchar]

"Edyta" is a dark green with bronzy glitter and undertones. This is a quick review because I ended up taking it off right after I put it on because I didn't let it dry enough and borked it.

This color is gorgeous on, and I will definitely wear it again, but one caveat is that it STAINS. Fortunately, much of the staining was gone after my shower this morning but it was definitely a shock.

My quick question: I bought the Zoya "Hurry-Up" drying drops. and either I'm not doing something right or I got a bad batch. They don't really seem to do much good - granted, my second coat (sometimes third too) tends to be thick, but the drops didn't really seem to make much difference in the drying time. Certainly not the amount of difference claimed by some of the people who reviewed the drops on Zoya's site. I hate to think I spent $16 on a product that doesn't work as well as my cheap-ass Sally Hansen quick-dry topcoat, but I'm not sure what else to try to make these work.

One thing I've been trying with Edyta is to layer it over a base coat of China Glaze's Wagon Trail (which is an amazingly gorgeous colour anyway). I find that it means I don't have to use as many coats of the Edyta to build pigmentation, since Wagon Trail is a good solid shimmer, which makes the glitter of Edyta tons easier to remove. And it has the bonus effect of helping to protect the nails from staining, too!

Ooh, good idea. I'll try that.
