Same anon as before asking about base coats, do you also have any recommendations for fast drying top coats? I unfortunately have the attention span of a gnat and get easily distracted with other tasks while waiting for my nails to dry and almost always end up messing them up 馃槥
ah!! I haven't tried a HUGE number of topcoats and basecoats, only a Selection. but the favorites I use:
For basecoat, I almost always use holo taco's long-lasting basecoat, or ORLY's Bonder if I'm out of the HT one.
My favorite ridge filling / nail foundation basecoat is the Mooncat one, "Getting even"
The only good top coat I've ever liked is the ella+mila "in a rush" quick dry top coat, though I wish they used a paddle brush!
Even tho the ella+mila one IS very good, and does dry down quickly, there's still always the possibility of denting ur nails... it's not for everybody, but maybe if you're someone who gets restless waiting for your nails to harden / you multitask / you forget your polish is still soft, etc, maybe you'd like giving yourself gel manicures a little better? where when you're done painting your nails, you're actually Done Painting Your Nails. It could be worth a try!

Soaking off my nail gel. Definitely did not shape the foil around my fingertips into claws so I could pretend to be Mephiles and make dramatic hand gestures. What a silly idea. I've never commited a shenanigan in my life.

Z tego wszystkiego a偶 zapomnia艂am 偶e by艂am w 艣rod臋 na rz臋sach.
N贸wki sztuki zawsze ciesz膮, a testujemy lamp臋 UV i specjalny do niej klej. Zobaczymy, jak si臋 sprawdzi, ale pierwsze wra偶enia - ekstra!
Klej nie 艣mierdzi i nie piecze a偶 tak bardzo jak standardowy, a przez pierwsze dwie doby (dobra, nieca艂e, mam nadziej臋 偶e nie wykracz臋) NIC nie wypad艂o. A wcze艣niej si臋 zdarza艂o.
No i nie trzeba a偶 tak bardzo chroni膰 ich przed wilgoci膮, bo maj膮 by膰 bardziej odporne. 艢wiadomo艣膰, 偶e nie musz臋 si臋 spieszy膰 z prysznicem w pierwsze dni jest cudowna. 馃槃 no i komfort mycia w艂os贸w - brak paniki, jak woda dostanie si臋 w okolice oczu. Ale to sprawdzimy dzisiaj, bo akurat dzie艅 w艂os贸w.

okay nail polish is the worst fucking invention ever in the WORLD
WHY does it still take like an hour to cure. I have it under a UV light for curing resin. and it's still not dry after 45 minutes. who has that kind of fucking time to just be sitting around NOT TOUCHING ANYTHING? how has the formula for nail polish not improved since the fucking 90s???? Forty fucking years and this is the best the cosmetic giants can do?????

The worst part of doing your own nails is sometimes I do great, and other times I fuck up SOMEHOW and l keep poping my damn acrylics off and I can not for the life of me figure out what I do differently. And I've been doing my own nails for years now so it's just all around frustrating
