I started part 1 of this mani on Saturday February 26th and it is now 9 days later, March 6th and I am still adding to this mani. I can't believe the paint has stayed on this long. FANTASTIC!!! I added to it today because I was sick of looking at the same thing. But I really didn't have any major tip wear.
Want to know what I think the staying power comes from? I have no doubt in my mind that it's the Gelous Topcoat I use. My manicures have been lasting extra strong and extra long since I started using that stuff.
I've come to the experimental conclusion that it's not price that gives a polish staying power. It's using a good base and topcoat. You may not agree...but for me, it's a fact.
I use a fast dry topcoat when I first paint my nails for quick drying but they do nothing to protect your mani. So after several hours or a day later, I will add a thick coat of Gelous to my mani. I used to use "Oh So Wet" as a gel topcoat, but I am now obsessed with Gelous.
In case you missed, or don't remember steps 1 and 2, here they are:
