recomend your base and top coat for toenails

Love how salons get them so shiny, was wondering if you have a fav brand/type of base and top coat.  Both in one or two different bottles.  Thanks!

Re: recomend your base and top coat for toenails

  • I would not use a top coat as base coat. I don't use a base coat when I do my own nails. I probably should, but skip the base coat step. For top coat a lot of people like Sache Vitea, I tried it and did not like it and went back to my old favorit, Orly Sec 'n' Dry. It gives an excellent shine and my DIY manis last a good 10 days, my pedis will last 14-21 days.

  • Right now my base coat is the strengthening one by CND, and my top coat is the Perfect Formula Pink Gel Coat.  
  • OPI base coat and Seche Vite top coat
  • My favourite base coat is the OPI acrylic base coat that helps fill in nail ridges. I also like their top coat and the one by Seche Vite.
