Who wants dull, boring manicures? No one, when you can have gloriously shiny manicures scented with your favorite fragrance!
This is a full-size 15ml bottle of 10-free top coat (technically, it can also be used as a base coat in a pinch, but it’s very glossy) with your favorite nerdy scent added, so you can carry the perfume on your nails once they dry. This makes it 9-free, technically, but it's natural fragrance oils so maybe more like 9.5-free.
The fragrance oil can tint the clear coat slightly (particularly darker botanical extract-filled scents like Thane), but in my testing it doesn’t appreciably change the color — if anything, it’s like a warm saturation layer in Photoshop. It also does take slightly longer to dry, about two minutes for contact and fifteen for full pressure, but I think it’s worth it to have a 10(9)-free topcoat with an awesome wide brush. Also, I love nerd perfume.
Please make your selection from the following fragrances, which you can either scroll through below or search by specific note or inspiration at https://www.dragonsworn.net/fragrance-list/.
