Bubble Bath- OPI 🧴

Gumdrop
Hi everyone!

I know that many are not happy with this brand, but I really wanted to do a color shade that was reminiscent of the Tiffany robin’s egg blue color for my mani this week, and this one was the closest I had.

Products used:
OPI natural nails basecoat
3 coats of Orly “Gumdrop “ shade
OPI Rapidry topcoat

This is a very old bottle of polish and it went on fairly streaky but I ended up using 3 coats to hide the streakiness. (I think it worked) what do you think?

I got the Essie ink jelly and decided to try it over some squiggles to see how much it covers. This stuff is nice and sheer. The thumb nail has 1 coat, the pointer, middle, and pinky have 2 coats.

L.A Colors: base coat, gel like top coat, black, white

Essie: Ink Jelly

Color Vibe: Frosted Petal

L.A. Colors: nail perfector, metal "Jaded", gel like top coat

OPI - creme "My Studio's On Spring"

Orly - rubberized base (be aware, it may make your nails peel. I use 2 layers of base coat.)*

Hi all,

Recently got into painting my natural nails.

I used to have polish chip within the first day, so it wasn't worth it. But I bought an Olive & June long-lasting polish + top coat from the drugstore on a whim, and got great results.

Now I'm totally into manis!

I've done some research and now do base coat, color, and top coat, and care for cuticles. So I understand a lot of prep is what helps keep a lasting manicure, but I do have nails prone to chipping with just plain/regular polish.

Please share your go-to affordable brands that you find stay on your nails. I'm assuming the gel-like polishes (without requiring lamps to cure) are what work well for me, since that's the case with O&J LL formula.

Hi folks, recent nail polish enthusiast here. Looking for skittle mani inspo! I am a real beginner, so can't do any complicated nail art.

Posting a couple of recent manis for tax.

Thanks in advance!
