(L-R: Poshe Treatment Base Coat, Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat)
To prevent nail polish from staining your nails, always use a base coat. My pick is Poshe's Nail Strengthening Treatment Base Coat (for soft, peeling, and thin nails which I sadly am a victim of). I've been using this base coat for almost 2 years and my nails have definitely improved. Highly recommend this for anyone suffering with peeling nails. Sometimes, if I'm in a nail polish rut, I'll just apply the base coat as a clear polish so that my nails looks shiny and polished.
After applying the base coat, I then apply 2-3 coats of my nail polish of choice -currently I'm loving neutrals/dark polishes....... oh and I'm still on the hunt for a nice dark red polish (My all time fave is Opi's Glove You So Much which was from their 2009 Holiday Wishes collection but I have the mini version of it so I can't wear it too often else it'll run out!)
The top coat that I've been loving ever since I was introduced to nail polish is Seche Vite's Fast Dry Top Coat. Yes, it stinks and gets gloopy but a few drops of thinner and you're all set. This top coat means business - apply this over nail polish and your nails will look super glossy and shiny in no time. Bizarrely, I find that Seche Vite also manages to cover any mini accidents you might have had when applying your nail polish.
Yup, so that's all I do nails-wise. This post is already rather long, so I'll do a separate one on the nail polish remover and treats I use on my hands to keep my hands from drying out.
Hope you're having a great weekend!
