A few days ago,I blogged about how impressed I was with the Sally Hansen nail strips and Gelous top coat. I have long since changed my nail polish, but I wanted to let you know how it worked out.
To remind you all of what it started out looking like, here is the Day 1 picture:
At Day 5, I was impressed that my nails were still looking fabulous. On day 6, that's when my nail polish started messing with me.
It started with a little tiny chip on my right hand. I'm sure the manicure would have lasted a few more days if not for the fact that I immediately start picking at chips.
So, to summarize, 6 full days before I suffered a chip using the polish strips with Gelous top coat. My conclusion: I don't know if the longevity of the manicure was a result of the strips, the top coat or the combination of the two together. I haven't used the top coat too many times before, so I would have to try it with regular polish to see if it lasts as long. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with the combination and I would definitely use it again, especially if I have a special occasion.
If you try this combo, let me know how it works for you. Til next time! -Erika

They last about 7-8 days without a top coat before the chips appear and then about a week after that before it becomes obvious. And I'm constantly washing my hands, typing, and basically doing everything in my power to wreck my manicure as I work in retail and go to college.
