GLITTER FRENCH

Today I have a glitter tipped french mani I did on my mom last night. We are also doing a test on the base coats I use too.


Since my mani's don't usually last over a day since I change them so often, the base coat I use isn't really that important to me. Since my mom will leave her mani's on for at least a week, it is more of an issue. I usually use Seche base coat, and by the end of the week, her nails are in need of being re-done. This last mani I did on her I used Orly Bonder for the base coat. She had more growth from the cuticles than she had chips or tip wear. So we decided to do a little test and see if the base coat was the cause of her mani lasting so long.


On her right hand I used Orly Bonder and on her left hand I used Seche base coat. I will let you all know how her mani held up and if the base coats came into play.


I painted the base with OPI - forgot the name! and did the tips with TiNS. I then applied a 3D flower to the middle of her nails and used Seche Top Coat to seal.

*very* cute! I find that Orly Bonder works pretty well. I am anxious to see how it lasts with your test!

I'm in the same boat as you, only wear a day or two tops so the base isn't an issue with me. I am very curious tho to which one holds up to the test!

That mani is so sparkly, those tins are to die for!

Very pretty manicure. I love the glittery Frenchie! I remember the old commercial for some hand creme, "Would you hold hands with a pine cone"? Uh oh! I leave my manicures on till they chip or I get tired of them. I too am wondering what the outcome of the base coats will be.
