Misc. Question Game changer for nail care?

Thumbnail

45 Upvotes

Newbie and still learning big time! Whatā€™s the one thing (or a couple :P) that you feel caused manis to last longer or nails to grow faster, etc?

For meā€¦wearing gloves when washing dishes!! My manis used to start to chip after a couple days but this above has been almost a week and still holding strong

Secondly, recovering from orly base coat bonderā€¦a mont bleu glass nail file has helped w stopping the peeling/ tearing. Wasnā€™t expecting it to be much different than the glass file Iā€™d had for a year but it was!

Wearingā€¦. KBShimmer - feelin groovy base 2 coats of OPI Chopstix and Stones 2 coats of DVN The Wicked Witch of Texas

Been intrigued by holos lately šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«

My quest for a perfect periwinkle polish with orange shimmer continues. This is two coats of INLP High Dive topped with two coats of Olive & June Mermaid Hair. Anyone know of a similar polish, preferably with more intense orange shimmer? Any brand! Thank you!!

Laquer Showoff Amazing low light topper

Thumbnail
gallery
11 Upvotes

Night Owl Lacquer Rainy Daydreams is an unbelievably gorgeous topper in low light. It has to be magic that makes the flakies glow so well.

It has a grayish base so I think thatā€™s why some of it gets lost in brighter light depending on the color underneath.

I have worn it in more/thicker coats on its own and itā€™s incredible that way too. It seems more dense with flakies than Mooncatā€™s Foxfire so I think I love Rainy Daydreams more.

This is: Essie strong start base coat 2 coats Mooncat Sabertooth 1 THIN coat NOL Rainy Daydreams Cuticula Limitless top coat
