Long Lasting Color
This is my current method of getting my polish to last 7+ days with no chips.
• I rub my handmade beeswax/olive oil/coconut oil lotion into my cuticles and nails. This prevents my nails from drying out and peeling.
• 1 coat of base coat - I use Essie "Feed Me" but I think it's been discontinued
• 2+ coats of color
• 1 coat of Gelous - this seems to keep the polish wet enough to prevent shrinkage when I apply a fast dry top coat. It also ads thickness so my nails are less likely to bend and chip.
• 1 coat of Seche Vite to dry everything fast!
And always wear gloves to wash dishes!
