I agree on the Seche Vite base coat. Mine was free with purchase of the top coat (which I love). It was awful, yes, it made my polish peel right off. And that was when I was using China Glaze and Orly! I have a history of peeling nails so I started using Nail Tek Foundation II for a base coat earlier this year.. No peelies on the nails anymore but I am still using it because it is also a ridge filler and gives added strength.Originally Posted by Xylena88 /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I honestly have found that really good nail prep is what makes my mani last. I usually don't go more than 3 or 4 days before removing it, but during that time if it chips its usually something I did. I noticed too with the Seche Vite clear base coat that my nail polish would not last as long. I really want to try CND sticky but can't find any stores around me that sells them.
When it comes to specific brands, its really just hit and miss. About a year ago I never polished my nails because I just thought all nail polish sucked and it would chip on the first day. I honestly didn't think a base and top coat would make that big of a difference!
A lot of the ladies have commented that it chipped within the first day of application. I find that regardless of whatever polish I use, it can chip on the first day. But with my job, I'm constantly washing my hands and sanitizing, so it's to be expected. Although, I do like Color Club, myself. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />Wow, I'm surprised at how many of you dislike Color Club! I got a bunch of them for cheap last week, and I really really like them!! Using it with the OPI Ridge Filler Base Coat and Seche Vite top coat, I got about 4 full days before I had ANY chips, and when the chips came, they were just about 1mm on the very tips of my nails!!
I know...but I was saying that I didn't get ANY chips for about 4 days.Originally Posted by MissLindaJean /img/forum/go_quote.gif

II am hooked on Wet and Wild Megalast. It is $1.99 too and it has a big brush that is great..2 swipes over the nail, one over the pinky, and you're done!
Love both of them. I have Undercover on my toes and I love the look! I'm hoping for some new colors soon!Originally Posted by DonnaD /img/forum/go_quote.gif
You and me both. I adore the brush. I'm wearing I need a refresh-mint right now and it's really nice. My favourite of the colours is Undercover. It's an awesome neutral pink.
I wish all polishes had brushes like this.
