Hi Michael,
Thanks for your honest review! We're glad you like the Neon Green colour 💕
You're absolutely right that this shade can be quite sheer and need more coats than expected - neon colours can be particularly tricky as their pigment composition often makes them naturally more transparent. It can be so frustrating when you need 5+ coats to get good coverage! Your tip about using two coats of white base is really smart and should definitely help with both the opacity and patchiness.
Some of our brighter, more vibrant shades do tend to have their own personality when it comes to application, and neons are often the trickiest ones to work with. Can you please reach out to our customer service team with photos of your manicure so we can help info@gelous.co. We really appreciate you sharing your experience and that helpful suggestion about the double white base - it's great advice for other customers who want to get the best results with this bright shade ✨
