Why You Should Use a Base Coat

This week I'm not wearing any type of polish to share with you so, I thought I would type up some nail fundamentals when applying your favourite polishes....

WHY INVEST IN A BASE COAT?

Now I'm no nail guru but I do use a base coat and here is why:

  • Helps the polish to stick to your nails meaning your nails polish will last longer . Bonus! 
  • It acts as a barrier to protect your nails from any damaging effect of polish such a staining and peeling of the nails (yuck)
  • They usually contain nutrients for nails such as: protein, aloe vera, vitamin e, and/or calcium. Basically a good moisturiser for your  paws. 
I use Nails Inc Kensington Caviar which dries really quickly and does the job for me! (Can be seen hiding in this post here)

Which base coat do you use?
