NAIL VARNISH - how to chuffing stop it chipping

[FluffyMummy123]

what top and or base coat do you use

I find outsourcing rock breaking and hoovering helps enormously.

lol
i DO that
any slight exertion from my lilac chaise longue has it chipping

I have been told Sally Hansen diamond stuff works.

Am testing it at the moment - seems to last longer than no top coat at all.

Base coat is omstly so that when you take it off your nails aren't stained.

ah now i bought that
is SO thick its ugly

i've started having a file in polish a la your recommendation and i find that it stays on that way (only £2.50 here)
i've had the revlon fast dry stuff and the sally hansen but in truth somehow someone else doing it seems to work the best

Try a 3 week manicure? Gel varnish - set under UV. Rock hard! No chips- awesome.

I want to change colours more often than that though.

yes our price fo file nad polish has rocketed
hence diy

badly

Seche Vite is the best top coat.

Ah well TA - that is the price of flibbertygibbetness when it comes to colour

The best top coat I have used is Nails Inc here

I don't know why it's called Albert Bridge.

voice - I have had that gel nail thingy done for the first time. I really like it and roffled at the pamphlet I was given saying "nails are not TOOLS, treat them as JEWELS"

What brand are you using]coddy

I like OPI

And even the cack handed amongst us can do a good paint job with their brilliant brushes

I think you need to top coat each night to refresh, persoanlly

I use any old stuff for bottom and top coat but what's important IMO is for each coat to be bone dry before you put the next one on

Means it takes much longer to do but it does make them last longer

Oooh shirley - a pamphlet. I got a cup of tea and a gossip. Pamphlets is posh

essie

Opi

or revlon

when you get the gel thing done do your nails end up looking thick
as though they all have fungal infections

good tips all ta

will look at albert

I find if I go and get it done by someone else, they slap the varnish on really thickly. They don't wait for it to dry in between coats. It lasts longer.

I still can't stop it chipping though. Lego is a killer.

Not really voice. The girl who did it was a horror. She just wouldn't shut up and said things like "Yeah, well the thing is, it's really hard being a working mother what with having to do all the cooking and cleaning and looking after the baby and giving Brian blow jobs! hahaha!"

Marvellous.

I got a full rundown of her tortuous lovelife - i had to smile and sympathise - she was spooning boiling wax over my nether regions! We had moved to thankfully more mundane things by the time the nails were being done! Well ok, it wasn't boiling - but it was warm enough.

seche vite is brilliant..

apparently chipped nail polish is trendy

Stick the sally hansen in the freezer for 10 mins before using and when you brush it down keep the brush really flat - works for me....hmmm although standards have slipped somewhat in recent months, you've inspired me to sort my own nails out!

gel overlays. Then you can put on any colour you want (and can remove the colour and the gel still remains..until it grows out)
