A slightly different post for you today as I thought I would share my nail routine with you as recently I have found some amazing new products that have been total game changers for me! Starting with base coat, I have been using the Rimmel Nail Nurse Base Coat for the past few months and have really noticed a difference in the quality of my nails. Prior to using this, I had real problems with my nails peeling, and although this has not eradicated the problem completely, it has really helped to strengthen my nails and lessen the issue.
For my birthday I recevied my first Essie polish. I had always avoided the brand before because I deemed the nail varnishes to be too expensive compared to what I could get from other brands. However, I can now see that they are totally worth the money; the brush is the perfect width, it had barely chipped on my nails after a whole week, and the colour range is insane. I have the shade Sunday Funday and am in love with the coral colour and subtle specks of glitter. I have to say that I am definitely converted, but I will still be saving other colours for my Christmas list as I still can't justify spending £8 on a nail varnish out of the blue.
Another nail varnish collection that I highly rate is the Barry M Gelly Nail Varnishes. These are super shiny, meaning it is not necessary to use a top coat, and they last well without chipping. My only complaint about these is that they take forever to dry, so I generally have to use top coat anyway to make it dry quicker.
And that brings me smoothly on to the final product which is Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat, and I am not kidding when I say that this is quite possibly my favourite make up product ever! I literally just apply a generous coat over my nails and within 2 minutes my nails are fully dry, so much so that you can knock them against a table, do the washing up, whatever you like, and they wont smudge at all! Not only this, but it also leaves your nails extremely glossy and extends the wear time of your nail polish!
Have you tried any of these products? Let me know what you thought of them in the comments.
