It's that time of year ... time to retire the peony pinks and the bright lavenders in exchange for some gorgeous and rich fall nail colors!
Although Essie is a personal fave of mine (with OPI running a close second), I have a little secret to pass along to you.
My number one, NUMBER ONE, nail polish is ....
... which is a mouthful to say. But it's amazing as a base coat!
When I put this underneath my nail polish, I can go nearly a week with only a few chips on the tip of my nails. And I'm not one of those girls who can do that. I have friends that have nails that hang on to nail polish for dear life, but mine (maybe I have oilier nail beds?) don't tend to go that way. Mine start chipping within 1-3 days, typically.
However, one quick layer of this acrylic gel polish and I can be guaranteed a long-lasting self-mani. And don't be fooled by the name; it's not difficult to remove. Regular polish remover does the job very well.
So next time you're about to put on a few coats of You Don't Know Jacques (a classic and another favorite of mine) -- take my advice and use this gel basecoat first. And then you can actually ENJOY your manicure!
