How to Achieve Shiny Nails????Or is that Shiney??

[CDMforever]

I'm forever seeing glamorous folk on the telly with incredibly shiny painted nails.
How is this done?
Is it the nail varnish alone or are they using a layering approach - one coat of coloured polish then one of clear?
I need to know!
PS my nail varnishes are all No7 and on their own aren't that shiny.

A layer of high gloss top coat. I use a Jessica one called Brilliance.

Oooh, where would I get Jessica products from or do any other companies do "high gloss top coats"??

I don't know about other ones sorry. Maybe OPI do one? Jessica is either in beauty salons or (cheaper) online, lots of online beauty shops sell their products. OPI I know have a concession in London Selfridges as was as available in salons/online.

Have a look at No7 etc see if they have a high gloss top coat. I expect a lot of ranges will do their own version.

I am currently loving Seche Vite after recs on here.

Nails are super shiny. And look professional.

Second Seche Vite! Or 3rd

add top coat every night whilst Mumsnetting

I wonder if they have these. I've had mine done with this twice now and the finish is shiney and stays that way.

Sorry!! Blooming phone. I do love it...but not that much to rave about it twice

Hahahaha

I have had the bio sculp gel nails done - very lovely but always have them done clear (and very shiney too!).
Really want to get a high shine on a deep red/purple colour i'm currently in love with (No7's Temptress)
Thanx all, will look at Seche Vite too.

Seche Vite topcoat is amazing stuff. I can wear any old cheapo nail polish with it and it lasts days. I've also discovered their ridge-filling base coat which gives a lovely smooth look.

I feel a bit QVC with 'lovely smooth look', but you get the jist!
