For the month of December, it's All About Nails!! Today I'm going to be reviewing the base and top coats I current have and used before.
Base Coats:
As you can see from the picture, I only have two of them. I actually like both of them but I have Bern using OPI Nail Envy the most. I love that it just helps your nail growth as well as being a base coat. The Orly Rubberized Lacquer Gripping Base Coat really helps your polish stick to the nail and last for a while. I purchased both of these at Ulta.
Top Coats:
I know we all wish that polish would not chip so fast on natural nails but we can't help that sometimes. I've had trouble finding a top coat in the past that helps keep my polish on for more than a day and doesn't chip so fast. I'm still exploring them but so far I have found a couple that I do like!
Out The Door- This top coat is like my go to, number 1 that I use a lot. I was asking around on Beautylish for good top coats and this was one of the suggestions that came up. It really does a great job of keeping your polish on more than two days. It gives your nails a nice shine and I just love it!! It's also easy on your pockets, it was about 3-5 dollars at Walmart.
China Glaze Fast Forward Top Coat- This would be really close to number one, I love this one just as much. I went to the nail salon one day to get a manicure and she used this top coat on my nails. My polish stayed on for like a week and didn't chip!! I ran out that week and purchased this. I found this at Sally's for about 6-8 dollars.
Orly Chip Resistant Top Coat- This works really well together with the Orly Base Coat but your nails start to chip after about 3 or 4 days. It a really nice top coat but I wish the polish wouldn't chip so fast. I got this and the base coat at Ulta.
Seche Vite- Everyone on Beautylish was racing about this top coat on how you polish doesn't chip for a while, how it gives your nails a wonderful shine and so on. I gave this a couple tries and I don't think it lives up to the hype. My polish would start chipping on the second day!! I was not happy with this top coat at all. I did try to give it a couple chances but I had to redo my nails after two days.
Hard Candy Matte Top Coat- This I'd the only matte top coat I own. I like the matte effect it gives on my nails. I purchased this a Walmart for about 3 dollars.
What top and base coats to do you use? Which ones have worked for you? Let me know so I can give them a try!!
