#top coat

Left hand

Base: 3 coats Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Hardener, because I messed up the second coat. I knocked the bottle over twice! Bottle is too easy to knock over. Takes quite a while to dry, doesn't seem very ridge filling. Some bubbling.

Pinky: 3 coats Essie Urban Jungle. Ring: 3 coats Essie Miss Fancy Pants. Middle: 3 coats Zoya Nyssa. Index: 3 coats Picture Polish Swagger (could have used a 4th coat). Thumb: 4 coats Essie Bikini So Teeny (needs Seche Restore? Peeled on 2nd day).

Top: 1 coat Seche Vite, 1 coat Sally Hansen Matte.

End of first day: Tip wear on all but pinky. Matte gone. After 5 days: Significant chipping. Matte completely gone. Nails look dirty.

Right hand: For some reason the colours came out much brighter on the R hand.

Base: 2 coats Sally Hansen Hard as Nails.

3 generous coats each: Thumb: PP Swagger. Index: Essie Bikini So Teeny. Middle: Essie Urban Jungle. Ring: Essie Miss Fancy Pants. Pinky: Zoya Nyssa.

Top: 1 coat Seche Vite, 1 coat Nail Fortress, 1 coat SH Matte.
