Included in my bag of treats from Cheeky Monkey Cosmetics [official website] was their sticky base coat Wet Dream and their shiny shine top coat I Like It On Top. Even though they are definitely colored in the bottle, they both go on the nail clear.
Wet Dream says on the bottle to shake gentle and apply 2 coats, but I forgot and only used one coat. The bottle has a nice wide brush for complete nail coverage. Additionally, all of Cheeky Monkey bottles comes with a small tag on each bottle with a great note inside. Here was Wet Dream's tag (although I don't think they are specific to each bottle, not sure on that one).
Seriously, just something to make you smile a bit, and I did. Oh yes, I did. ^_^
Like Wet Dream, I Like It On Top also says to shake gently and apply 2 coats. Now, you know that I'm complete spoiled by Seche Vite, but I had to try this out. Also, you can see that my bottle has a bit missing from it - it arrived that way, but I didn't see any spilling or leakage in the box. All the other bottles were completely full, and I know Cheeky Monkey is a small company, but I don't know where or how they fill their bottles. Honestly, not that big of a deal to me, but it was noticeable, especially in the first shot.
Don't forget the tag!
Now, this is the hard part. I had to wait. And wait. And wait. I waited 15 minutes after the second coat and then brought the nail to my lips to see if it would leave lip prints. Instead, my lip dragged on past, so I thought I was in the clear. I then touched my index nail with my finger tip and BAM, finger print. Yes, the top coat was not fully dry. This is when my impatience got the best of me and I pulled out my Seche Vite and added one coat of it and within 3 minutes, my nails were hard and slick. I must say though, I really did like Wet Dream and I think if I had more patience, I'd really like I Like It On Top as well.
Cheeky Monkey Cosmetics is based out of Canada and you can order right from their website [official website].
