I tried the Seche Vite gel top coat on Sunday, hoping it would make my mani last more than the 3-4 days they usually last before chipping. Nope. One or two mails started chipping yesterday (day 3), and looked even worse today. It was no better than the regular SV top coat. 😕

I bought this polish from polish pickup. I expected the two tone look in the stock photo. Mine are all green. It’s cute for Christmas but not what I was looking for. Top is the photo online.

wedding is it one of the temp changing ones? I watched that youtube of the girl applying all of the colors and it def turned me off on a few based on how they looked once actually painted on. Some of them looked soooooo different!

Some of them looked soooooo different! Not a color changer. If its in the perfect light I can see that purplish color more. I'm not a green person so I was surprised I even bought it when it arrived.

One or two mails started chipping yesterday (day 3), and looked even worse today. It was no better than the regular SV top coat. 😕 The best I can get is Orly polish and the Ella and Mia top coat, and even then it's 4-5 days. I feel you.

jaidit, I know you tend to Essie, but the best neutral I ever found was OPI Dulce de Leche. It skews a little pink, but overall it's gorgeous.

Sally Hansen Instadry Go Garnet This is what I have on my toes right now. I didn't like how it went on my fingers but it looks great on yours. Really speaks to the skill level of the manicurist

One or two mails started chipping yesterday (day 3), and looked even worse today. It was no better than the regular SV top coat. 😕 SV top coat ways gave me terrible terrible shrinkage even when I wrapped the nails. I like the posche brand top coat. But my go to combo that I have been using for about 3 years now is Ella mila base, 2 layers of color (98% of the time I use ilnp), and then 2 layers of Ella mila fast dry top coat and make sure to wrap tips. I get 6-7 days with no chipping.

I got my nails done with a gel mani a week ago. They still look great, but 2-3 of them are starting to lift up a little on the sides. I’m really disappointed in how quickly they failed.
Is there anything I can do to stop them from lifting all the way up? Is there a save?

I had that happen once and it was evidently an old polish I picked.

I really like the OPI quick dry top coat. I just used it with Olive and June HJ (very dark navy) and got a solid week with no chips. I was impressed, it was my first time using O&J and I had low expectations.

I have a bunch of olive and June polishes that just didn’t work with my undertones/skin tone.
Anyone interested? Free to a good home. Used one, lol.
It’s a green, a baby blue, a pale peach, a warm white, and a grey-purple.
I think they use a lot of yellow in their blends, which is pretty but I have olive undertones so it just doesn’t work.
