Best Nail polish & top coat?
I love doing my nails, but they always chip off really fast. when i get my nails done what ever top coat the use works really well! my nails done chip for like 1 full week. What is the best nail polish brand you have used, whats the best top coat you have used, or if you know the proffessional top coat? Know any place to get very thin brushed nail polish to make designs?Best Nail polish %26amp; top coat?
I don't have a fave but i could recommend a few. I like this brand called N.Y.C. The last time i used it, it stayed on for a while. I also like Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle Salon Strength. Not only does it make your nails grow, it also works as a great top coat. And as for the thin brushed nail polish, i have my very own where i can make designs myself. the brush is very thin, and works great! Its called Art decos and its from L.A. colors. I would recommend the colors bright orange and french white. :)Best Nail polish %26amp; top coat?
As a nail technician, the only products I will use are Creative nail Designs. They carry several kinds of top coats depending on your needs. This is a Professional product, so you would need to buy it from a salon. You can call around nail suppliers, as some are open to the public to find nail art polishes which include a tiny brush, and a tiny tip, that the polish can be squeezed from!
i love opi and essie.
essie has great colors and cute names, and opi
brushes are kind of nail-shaped and flat-easy to use.
Chanel nail polish stays on forever! I always steal it from my mom lol

How long does it take for 3 coats of nail polish to dry?
i just painted my nails and realized i have practice in like 45 minutes. will it be completely dry by then? i dont want it to be half dry and get smudged every time something touches it. should i leave it on or just remove it all off becuase this doesnt include the clear coat im about to put on too. k thanksss.How long does it take for 3 coats of nail polish to dry?
even though it appears quite dry to the touch it is actually still tacky. if you were to go to bed right now and wake up 8 hours later, you would find your polish job a wreck. don't worry, it has happened to us all. live and learn :)

if you wait 1 minute in between coats to paint the next one on, it overall takes less time, but it can take up to 3 hours to fully dry all the way through but you'll prolly b good 2 go in 15 minutes of not touching anything
lol well there is always your blow dryer to help you.

Is there a chemical in nail polish that shortens your life by one second for every coat?
Sounds to me like an urban legend. Sort of like ';if you hold your breath while passing a cemetery, you add a minute to your lifespan';.
The big question is -- how would you know?Is there a chemical in nail polish that shortens your life by one second for every coat?
No way!Is there a chemical in nail polish that shortens your life by one second for every coat?

Looking For A Nail Base & Top Coat :)?
I've tried a few nail base coats %26amp; top coats, but the ones i've tried either ruin the varnish you apply or take ages to dry and eventually smudge. Does anyone know of any good quality base %26amp; top coats? Thanks :) xLooking For A Nail Base %26amp; Top Coat :)?
Sally Hansen offer a great range.
Hard as Nails is a great base coat. And also a nail strengthener.
And Insta Dry seals your nail colour in seconds and dries off quickly.Looking For A Nail Base %26amp; Top Coat :)?
Hi,
I find these are the best to work with:-
Attitude Base Coat - www.thenailcompany.co.uk
OPI Top Coat - www.nailsandthings.co.uk
I always use the clear Barry M one. Seems to dry quickly, too :]
I use Revlon. It dries fast and stays longer, too for up to 10 days!

My nail polish chips, even with the top clear coat. Any suggestions to make it last longer?
Use double coats of clear, but wait until the first dries before applying the second :)My nail polish chips, even with the top clear coat. Any suggestions to make it last longer?
put a clear cote on polish then another clear cote!My nail polish chips, even with the top clear coat. Any suggestions to make it last longer?
get opi nail polish and don't buy cheap nail polish
spray a little wd-40 on it and then set it afire, it will burn off the excess dirt particles allowing it for an even longer term than it originally should of been
Use coat before and after the polish.. Try one of Sally Hansen .. it's good
i dont have any suggestion
Use Essie, and put a special base layer underneath.
get acrylics or get Out the Door top coat
buy good, lasting polish..... dont keep polish for over 1 year or it will make your nails chip...... use a nail professional or doctor-recommended, clear top coating..... use a base coat, color coat and top coat.
Don't use cheap polish
A woman at the ';Best Buy'; Beauty Supply store directed me to a product called ';Poshe''; top coat. It is a clear polish that you use on top of wet polish. It dries in 5 minuets. I use it over my OPI polish. It is the best polish keeper and shine enhancer I've ever used! My nail stay shiny and chip free for 7-10 days.
Make sure your nails are dry when you apply polish. Use polish remover to get off any lotion or oils. Skip the base coat, apply polish, and use two coats of top coat. That's what works best for me.
i like sally hansen ';teflon'; polish.. ..
the same thing happens to me and the first issue is that you are probably the kind of person (like me) that is not very dainty when using your hands. some women can wear nailpolish a lot longer than me because they aren't always bashing their hands like a clutz....and making an effort to be dainty is just a pain.
anyway what has helped me is making the layers thinner...i find when you glob on the base coat, two coats of color and then a topcoat, it's just too thick and chips more easily. if you go with pale shimmery colors, like mocha, my favorite, then you can do lighter coats.
and lastly, invest in good quality products!~
Of course the answers are good but just an idea that i learned in cosmetology school... Buff nail top. Use polish remover or alcohol to clean nails of any oils. Dry them completely before applying. Take plenty of time in between coats of quality polish over a quality base coat and under a quality top coat...steph
If you invest in a manicure from a professional, it will last longer. It's fun and relaxing, too.
You must make time for polishing and not rush.
I would start out by washing my hands first. Then I would carefully remove any old polish that I may have on, remembering that If I am using artificial nail I must only use non-acetone polish remover.
If my nails were natural I would take an orangewood stick and wrap the end of it with cotton. I would then proceed to dip the end of the orangewood stick with peroxide and clean off any stains I may have on the top or underneath of my nails. This may not eliminate all stains if you are a heavy smoker but will certainly help.
For best results before you polish the nails must be clean from dirt and oils. If you remember to do this first then you end result will be longer lasting and a more evenly polished nail.
I would then shape my nails to the desired shape and length. I would proceed to always use a base coat before the polish. You would apply this base coat in three strokes. You would start at the top of the cuticle and continue polishing until you have reached the edge, always remembering to polish in the middle first and then ending with the two sides.
When I polish my own nails it is easier for me to place a small hand shelf or stool under the hand that is holding the brush. I am then able to maintain perfect steady control of my hands while polishing
It is time to polish when you have waited five minutes and your base coat has dried all of the way.
First I would choose a color that would accent my skin color as well as my wardrobe. I would gently roll the polish between my hands to eliminate bubbles.
I would then repeat the steps as if I were applying the base coat, but using the nail polish.
I would then wait another five minutes for this coat to dry. I would then re-apply another coat. When you you take the time to re-apply it will give your nails a more even coat.
I would then wait another five minutes and then apply a top coat. I would then wait an additional five minutes.
*Never apply nail polish if you are in a hurry. I would rather see a set of clean plain nails then nails that are painted and full of smudges.
*Never apply nail polish over a coat that has already been smudged. It will never look right. Properly re-do them!
If you should polish your skin by mistake this can easily be removed by using an orange wood stick with a piece of cotton and fingernail polish remover.
I would always recommend using a top coat. It really gives nails an added extra shine and looks more professional. This practice will also help with the chipping of nails.
When polishing your nails be experimental with different types and shades. They all perform differently. Some go on thicker, thinner, and you will just have to experiment until you find one that suits you.
Hope this helps~
Try a base coat on your nails before you add the polish..that might help..good luck!
