So many times I've been asked to reveal how I keep my nails long and strong. And every time I answer that question a nail breaks. Here's to throwing caution to the wind and letting it all air out.
I'll break this post up into two sections, nail blogger basics and general nail/manicure info.
Before we go any further, allow me to preface this blog entry by saying that I am not a licensed nail tech or manicurist. All opinions are my own and solely based on my own experience and does not guarantee you'll have the same results.
Now that I've got that mini disclaimer out of the way, how about we start with nail blogger basics shall we?
As a nail blogger I spend a lot more time painting and removing nail polish than a non-blogger. Yes, I'm talking about the dreaded swatch fest!
To keep staining and yellowing at bay, I base coat before every color no matter what. My base coats very for this process. They can be anything from my go to nail strengthener to clear nail polish from the dollar store.
If I use top coat I disclose of so on that particular post.

Swatching (n.) - The painting of nails for the purpose of photographing and removing shortly after. Mostly likely a process that is repeated multiple times within a few hours. Prime example: a swatch fest.
