Yesterday I was lucky to grab a brilliant bargain in TKMaxx, Sally Hansen's Strengthening Topcoat, Advanced Hard As Nails, less than half the original price! Fab! I used to have some basecoats and topcoats, but they were mainly from gift sets, so I was excited to try a popular brand!
Last night I painted my nails with a Barry M's Bright Purple. I applied 3 coats of Bright Purple, (I often only need two coats with Barry M) to achieve full consistency.
The Strengthening Topcoat was absolutely brilliant; it said to leave it two minutes between applying the nail colour then the topcoat, however I was not that speedy so left it was left a little longer. I am normally extremely careful, dreading that my nails will dent or be ruined, but within no time at all I was left with beautifully dry, shiny nails!
Due to the three coats or purple, I did find that it was slightly darker than the bottle, but that didn't bother me, I was to overwhelmed with the Top Coat!
I love how smooth and shiny my nails are - I love them!
