At first, the Mocha Java would smear when I stamped, but I found that if I leave the nail alone and come back to it with a light coat of the no smear topcoat, there is very little smear (still minor smear-age). I wasn't expecting to love the Mocha Java as much as I do, but I love all 3 of these colors. They have great coverage, and the metallic is great. I initially bought this set for the Woolly, but I'm staying for that Mocha. [insert cheesy chefs kiss]

I really love these colors, they will be go-tos for a long time with me! I did however have a problem with the Mocha Java color. I was doing reverse stamping with it and it smeared despite having a clear coat layer between it and the top color (white). I haven't tried it on its own as a stamp, but I expect it will smear there too. It may just have to be a base coat for me. I really liked the color though! (In the pics Mocha Java was used on my middle nail for the leaves, and you can see it discolored the white outline. I used Woolly as the base and the beetle is done with the Satin Blush. Most of the flowers were done with a champagne shimmer not included in this collection.)

I love this trio. So many options.

These were some of my first stamping polishes from Maniology. Great neutral colors that can go with many color schemes !

These colors are amazing!!! I haven't had a chance to do anything but the swatch, yet. As with all of your polishes they stamp wonderfully. Just looking at the swatch, I can't wait to use them. So many colors so few nails.
