Fragrance notes
The manufacturer does not publish a detailed fragrance profile for Crystal Ball. As with many solvent-based nail polishes, a faint cosmetic odor may be noticeable during application, which quickly dissipates as the polish dries to a clear, glossy layer.
How to use
- Apply the first thin coat from cuticle to tip for even coverage.
- Wait about 50 seconds for the layer to dry and set before applying more.
- Apply a second coat if you want slightly more opacity or a stronger shine, then allow it to dry fully.
- For best results, ensure nails are clean and dry before application and avoid banging or rubbing nails together while drying to prevent smudges.
