Suggestions for a Good Topcoat???

Okay, so I just did my nails yesterday.  Twenty four hours ago.  And this is what they look like now (the other hand as well).  Typically I don't use a top coat on my nails because I've found that it makes them super thick and doesn't really aid in the polish lasting any longer.  Well yesterday I decided to re-ignite my past love of top coats, and this is what my nails look like.  It's not that the polish is even chipping, but it is peeling, like you could literally lift a corner up and peel it off, with ease.  I've done this polish look before with no top coat, and it gave me 3 days worth of wear.  This here, I'm probably going to redo tonight.  

So, that leaves me with asking you guys, any suggestions for a good top coat? One that won't cause my nail polish to peel, help prolong the polish wear, or make them "bumpy" after application? PLEASE comment below! LOL.  Whoever finds me one that works well, I've got a polish giveaway for you!!  FYI-I used Finger Paints top coat for these nails. 

Thanks :)

NOTD: Nail of the Day

Hi Guys, here's today's nail of the day! Excuse the extra short length of my nails...I've been breaking them left and right, down to the nub, so I decided to just cut all of them down to the same length, and grow them back out together.  I'm also thinking about changing my natural nail shape from round to square.  I'm starting to like the way it looks, so my nails also have an awkward shape right now.  Anywho, for the colors I used China Glaze's Electric Beat (the blue) and the glitter is OPI's Polka.Com (polka dot com).  

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!

Ulta Online Haul

I ordered some things from Ulta that came in the mail last night.  The Eco Tools and Real Techniques brushes were all buy one get one 50% off, and I also used the 20% off coupon.  The Eco Tools brushes were Detailed Lip brush and the Sharpen and Smudge Duo (1275 and 1245).  The Real Techniques brushes are the blush brush and powder brush. I'm super excited about these because my former brushes were Target brand brushes and of course, they sucked.  I find the Real Technique brushes to be a good value for the price!  The Ulta products were all buy one get one free, so I picked up an eyeliner brush and an eyeliner gel pencil in Peacock.  The nail polishes were $6 each. Overall I think I got a really good deal!! Oh yea, check out those free samples in the back (next to the bread) lol! Didn't open the pack, not sure what they are, but I will update...because you know I love my free samples!!

NOTD: Nail of the Day


I used China Glaze's 'For Audrey' today. It's a really pretty blue...some would say it is sort of a Tiffany blue. Get it? For Audrey is the name of the color...Audrey...Audrey Hepburn...Breakfast at Tiffany's. Lol...it took me a while to catch that.  Don't judge my nail design lol. I know it's basic but I've got to get back in the swing of things. My designs will (hopefully) get better with practice.

NOTD: Nail of the Day

I painted my nails using China Glaze's Dance Baby polish. It's a niec bright light pink.  I like China Glaze's polish formula, but I've noticed over time that once the polish isn't brand new and has sat for a couple months, it becomes super thick, clumpy, and stringy.  It gives me a total case of the sads considering the fact that China Glaze has a great range of colors, from neutrals to brights.  Anywho, China Glaze is available at Sally's, and it's super affordable, especially if you catch one of the buy one get one free sales or other sales that Sally often has.  I know this post isn't super interesting...but I realized I had 66 posts and I hate the number 66 so I had to hurry and do a 67 lol.  Here's a picture below (ignore the fact that I turned the bottle in the wrong direction lol...it was super late).  I promise I'll do a better nail tomorrow and post new pics.
