Since I can remember I've prided myself on the tidiness of my nails, and I can honestly say i haven't had unpainted nails for about 4 years. This is not to say I don't like them plain and clear, because it's a lot less agg than painting shaping and all that malarkey. It just doesn't work for me now because I've had them painted every day for years in every colour you can imagine so I can't stand looking at them without a colour on. Only recently have I started using a base coat on my nails because when I visited the nail salon, the manicurist recommended that I use a base coat to protect my nails from staining as a result of the varnish. Most brands that you can expect make base coat such as Essie Rimmel ect. However I just use this base coat that came from an Accessorize nail kit (who knew that would come in handy) that I discovered on a recent clear out.
I try to change the colour of my nails as often as I can so this week I've chosen "go Ginza" by Essie which is a light purple and a personal favourite of mins! This was a purchase from fragrance direct so I managed to snag it for just £2.50!! It's lasted me about 4 months so far and it's so easy to apply because it's fairly thick so you don't have to go over it a million times which you can tend to find in the cheaper nail varnishes.
Finally I end with a top coat, this just gives it a finishing shine and it makes the nail varnish a little stronger against chipping (which is always a problem). For this I also use the top coat from the accessorize manicure set (is there anything this set doesn't have?!)
I hope this helped. Happy Tuesday!x
