I have found a fantastic way to make your regular nail polish last and last. I have recently purchased a bottle of gel top coat from Walmart that is so wonderful that I just had to share with the world. Or at least the small bit of the world that reads this blog.
And here it is PRO-FX gel base and top coat , this stuff is amazing. Amazing I say. Its a little tricky to use at first, but once you get used to the consistency and the amount to use, it leaves me speechless.
For example the picture above was taken six days after application. Almost a full week and as you can see there is a small amount of wear on the tips there are no major chips or missing color. Fantastic!
For this subtle yet fun manicure I used two coats of China Glaze in Street Chic, stamped with Delight, also China Glaze. I used my m57
Konad plate.
Its a somewhat time consuming process. Each coat of nail polish has to dry 5 minutes under the light. The stamping, which has little to no drying time and then the top coat, which takes 2 to 3 minutes. Finish with a cotton ball dipped in alcohol to remove the dispersion layer and voila. But that's just for one hand, I think in total it took me an entire hour to achieve this look.
One more look at the design. You like? The only down fall to this fabulous top coat is the fact that you have to use a UV curing light
