So I use Revlon's quick dry top coat for most manis, & Nails Inc Kensington Caviar top coat for really thick manis. Love them both:]Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07709816042771784058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938872806661022095.post-30037998050640140232011-10-08T04:14:49.887-05:002011-10-08T04:14:49.887-05:00I quit using Sally Hansen base/top coats because t...I quit using Sally Hansen base/top coats because they get so goopy. I like Seche vite's drying time, but not its ingredients. OTD is sucktastic on me, because it actually makes my nails take longer to dry and more prone to smudging. I used it once and had wet nails still 5 hours later. I just tried Nubar Diamont for the first time this week, and I'm in love. I think I'll be buying the refill bottle from their website. For base coat, I find that I like Nubar Porcelain base coat and Poshe base coat. Both are really quick drying.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16008765786403081892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938872806661022095.post-57391857533925747112011-10-04T17:17:34.935-05:002011-10-04T17:17:34.935-05:00@Suiling: Hmm, I might have to check it out!

I like oval/almond nails on other people, but for whatever reason I just don't like them on myself.<br /><br />@Fingers: Yeah, I know you have to apply Seche while polish is still wet, which is just kind of annoying to me. I like top coat that I can apply to wet or dry polish. The BOGO sale is definitely tempting but I've actually fulfilled most of my dire Zoya lemmings! Although who knows, I might give in anyway.<br /><br />@Larie: I've never tried the Zoya base/top coats but I've heard good things about them. It's good to find a brand that works!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16537477237007169556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938872806661022095.post-21144964356568978682011-10-04T16:56:39.185-05:002011-10-04T16:56:39.185-05:00I change them up as well.

And I just don't want to shop around anymore.

Then the next day and there after I use CND super shiney to keep my mani super shiny!<br /><br />And yes I have already failed my no buy TWICE-how can you pass up a BOGO from Zoya???fingershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11934938847833344818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938872806661022095.post-61095934050436486392011-10-04T00:20:28.461-05:002011-10-04T00:20:28.461-05:00I think I might give the sally hansen one a try......I think I might give the sally hansen one a try...
