This tip brought to you from the locker room – as in, I am literally walking around talking into my phone in the otherwise empty locker room, where I first heard this tip:
if you want your self – manicure to last, use two coats of OPI topcoat
Since the key to the effectiveness of the above tip is letting it dry, I use the following closely-related system:
- quick-dry polish (only shades that color in one coat)
- Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Nail Coat, 0.5 Ounce
The next day:
- I add a coat of quick-dry clear polish
- followed by another coat of Seche Vite
If I successfully get this second coat on, the manicure will last me a week. And it is incredibly cheap! When it does go, it typically comes off in big chunks – like a whole nail at a time – which can be unsettling when you find it laying around 😉
