You paint your nails, apply a drop {comes with a dropper} to each nail and BAM, your nails are dry in 20 seconds!!

I only used it as a top coat, though, and have the Diamond Shine or something like that from Sally Hansen for my base. I also just recently got Orly In a Snap top coat which left my nails soooo shiny. It was great. I still have trouble keeping polish on for even a week, but that's partially because I pick at any little imperfection, so it ends up coming off sooner.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14677602097675842780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612684340443540581.post-40785481884114122402014-01-29T13:32:05.814-07:002014-01-29T13:32:05.814-07:00I don't use a base coat, just the color and a ...I don't use a base coat, just the color and a top coat! I do use pure acetone, even if I don't have polish that needs removed. I've found that it dries my nails out and the color really sticks that way :)<br /><br /><a href="www.26andnotcounting." rel="nofollow">26 and Not Counting</a>Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02882268446547451093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612684340443540581.post-72784973045189765952014-01-29T13:31:10.471-07:002014-01-29T13:31:10.471-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02882268446547451093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612684340443540581.post-73128752365633800592014-01-29T10:22:33.073-07:002014-01-29T10:22:33.073-07:00I am HORRIBLE at doing my own nails……maybe I need ...I am HORRIBLE at doing my own nails……maybe I need to try some of these products???<br /><br />Carly<br />www.lipglossandcrayons.comCarlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14441710351375893934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612684340443540581.post-84222100393872420802014-01-29T08:29:33.677-07:002014-01-29T08:29:33.677-07:00That lemon flutter sounds amazing - I'd keep t...That lemon flutter sounds amazing - I'd keep that on my night stand to rub into my fingers every night if I had it.<br /><br />My biggest tip as a former manicurist is: If you push back your cuticles ever, please only do it when your hands/cuticles are wet and have been soaked. And PUSH GENTLY - even I have a tendency to OVER push and it will leave dents in your nails as they grow out. Everytime it happens I'm like OMG, what did I do??? SO even former pros make mistakes.<br /><br />I am so glad you said to use basecoat I think too many people skip that. My favorite is Orly's Bonder. It not only helps the color stay on your nails but will often help prevent major yellowing of your nails when using dark colors.<br /><br />*** Tip: Before putting on top coat, always wipe down your nails with a fresh pad, or even paper towel corner with some remover or rubbing alcohol. This will get excess oil off your nails to help the basecoat and polish stick and stay better :)<br /><br />I always finish up my manicure after my top coat dries a bit with some cuticle oil (like Solar Oil or any cuticle oil you can find in a small bottle) just brush it on liberally on the cuticle area and let it sit. As your nails dry, your fingers will absorb this.Kelly @ turned UP to ELEVEN!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17316990503032552760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612684340443540581.post-18640850466344499492014-01-29T06:31:01.217-07:002014-01-29T06:31:01.217-07:00oooo I'll have to check out that cuticle butte...oooo I'll have to check out that cuticle butter.
