Extra! Extra! Read All About It!
Did that make your ears perk up? I just wanted to let you all know that the month of July will be deemed Top Coat Challenge Month. I’ll be testing and reviewing different top coats to help you all find the perfect solution for your tip wear and chipping issues. I’ve already started testing but you’ll have to wait til July to hear the results.
If you have a top coat you’d like me to review, please let me know in the comments. I’ll try to review as many as I can.

Not a suggestion, but a question! Any ideas how to get a manicure to last when wearing latex gloves 8-10 hours a day?
Creative Super Shiney
Please, please, please find a good top coat to use with Zoya polish. I love Seche and Poshe with Opi, Essie, CG, etc., but *everything* I’ve tried dries and exposes the tips with Zoya polish.
While I love their stuff, I’m about to give up on it entirely unless I find the right base and topcoat.
OOOooo can we expect a basecoat review soon as well?
Try MAC over lacquer (they do a base under lacquer too). A lot of people don’t like the way MAC polishes wear- thier colors can easily chip, but the top coat works wonders! I put it on any brand of polish I wear and it keeps it on for up to a week and a half with no chips! I do tons of dishes and such- so for me it works miracles.
Orly’s No Chip!
I like zoyas armour but only when used with the basecoat Anchor, over zoya or essie color. When used alone or with opi I like the seche. some formulas mix better with certain top coats i’ve found.to see what works onme I like to wear them as a clearcoat alone first.
It would be great if you could review some drugstore brands like Sally Hansen for the sake of convenience.
Sally hansen insta-dri would be god to put against something like Seche Vite or Poshe.
Sally Hansen Mega Shine works like nothing else and it dries in two minutes. I always take it with me when I get a pedi or mani. It can’t be beat.
