Polished Up #1

Hola! 
Having a good Top Coat and Base Coat combo, is a must-have for long-lasting and chip-free nails. I really like painting my nails and having a fresh new colour on my nails. I generally give myself a manicure every 2/3 days, if I'm not going au natural. Not to mention, it's a fun and relaxing way to have a little bit of "me-time".


I've used this base coat for quite a long time, I think this is the 4th or 5th time I have re-purchased it. It's called 'Double Duty Strengthening Base & Top Coat' so you can definitely use it as both a top and base coat, however if you use it as a top coat it takes forever to dry (I used to use this my top coat as well). But it definitely protects the nails and prevents staining from dark/bright nail polishes. As a base coat, I definitely recommend this polish.



The top coat is a bit more new to me, but I love it so much. I ask people if they need to borrow one, because I use one which dries super-duper quickly! Being called 'Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top Coat' I expect the polish to dry quickly and it does. The bottle says the manicure will be touch-dry in 30 seconds, and I think that's pretty accurate. The combination of the 2 polishes together works really well, and it extends the amount of time my polish stays chip-free.


I got the top (£5.99) and base coat (£5.25) at Boots. They're currently on offer for buy one get the 2nd half price.

Do you have any favourite top or base coats or combinations, that you love? Let me know in the comments below.
