Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

Advantages: High gloss professional finish
Disadvantages: doesn't stop chipping but then, what does?

...room business, and has used Seche Vite on clients and for personal use for years. She bought it from Sally's hair and beauty supplies but it is widely availabe over the internet - I bought mine from ebay at just under £6 per bottle (plus postage) for a 0.5oz bottle. Basically, the formula penetrates through the nail polish to the base coat forming a single solid coating over the nail plate for a very durable finish. The official blurb is that its ...
...product that eliminates chipping, and seche vite, wonderful though it is, is not about to change that. Its not a major criticism, it's just this is an honest review and I wouldn't want anyone to buy it thinking its going to stop chipping. That said, It does make your polish much longer lasting. Firstly apply a base coat (this is important as seche vite bonds with it) followed by your nail polish. To apply, you get a nice bead of it on your brush ...

Review of Seche Vite Fast Drying Top Coat

My most favourite type of lycra!

Advantages: Easy to apply, gives a lovely finish and the range has some lovely colours to choose from
Disadvantages: None I can think of

...silver writing that it is Rimmel 'London' Lycra Wear and that it lasts up to 5 days and is super durable polish and the colour is stated (in my case the colour is Grape Sorbet, 307). On the back of the bottle (now all in small white writing) I'm told it is chip resistant and flammable, some information is given in foreign languages, contact details for Rimmel are listed, I'm told it is made in Spain and finally the size is stated. nice enough little ...
...is really simple to use. The consistency is really good not being too thin or runny or anything and not being too thick and/or heavy either. It simply glides over the nails and clings well, drying in a highly glossy way in a couple of minutes and I do feel like with most nail polishes/varnishes that your best to apply two coats of this just for a really even look and better durability. It doesn't stink to high heaven or agitate skin or nails either! ...

Review of Rimmel Lycra Wear Nail Polish

Brilliance - It Sure Is!

Advantages: Smooth application, Extreme shine, Brings out amazing colours from your nail polish
Disadvantages: None!

...I had bought a blue Jessica nail polish colour. It made my nails incredibly shiny and they even felt a bit stronger. They brought out the colour of my nail polish beautifully. Whereas some nail polishes are dull and matte, this product makes EVERY nail polish glimmer with shine and health. I would definitely carry on buying this item in the future and value it as highly as one of my 'must-have' beauty items. Some people do think this item is quite ...

...along with a bottle of Opi Nail Envy. I purchased it of the internet and got it for a really good price. Opi products are available in some salons, QVC and other internet companies so it is worth looking around for deals and packages. This lotion in particular comes in four differtent sizes; 30ml (handbag size) - Approx £3.00 120ml - approx £8.00 240ml - approx £13.00 450ml - approx £19.00 Thay also have an unfragranced variety. Now, the lowdown ...
...stay at home mum, my hands are constantly in hot water, and I never really wear rubber gloves even when dealing with bleach. So as you can imagine, they are very dry and sometimes the skin cracks and bleeds(gross, I know) So I did wonder if ANY hand cream could sort my mitts out. I have tried various ones before with varying results... Anyway, this lotion comes in a pearly coloured bottle with a gold lid and gold label, it's quite pretty packaging. ...

Review of Opi Avoplex Moisture Replenishing Lotion

treatment for chipping and peeling nails

Advantages: heal quickly, stays on for long time, looks pretty on its own
Disadvantages: size could be smaller

...street brands. I have tried Jessica Fusion and I can tell it makes a big difference. The Fusion varnish stays on nails for about a week and gives your nails healthy glow, they look better instantly. It is really worth the price (about Ł10.00), it can be used as a base coat for your coloured varnish and also it does not make your nails yellow like other brands. I would highly recommended this varnish as I have tried it on my own damaged nails ...
