I always thought my professional manicures lasted longer because of some professional secret that I didn't know about. I've come to realize that it has something to do with the polish too.
I always used OPI at the salon. I loved the colors and the fun names. Since I quit getting manis I've used what I've had at the house. I've missed having nails that looked nice for days. Mine always seemed to chip within the first 24 hours. I know I'm not easy on nails - I'm a busy woman - but it was frustrating. I don't have time to redo my nails every day or two.
Well, Tuesdays beautiful weather inspired me to wear a pair of my Yellow Box, so I had to paint my toes.
I decided to do my fingers to match which is kind of unusual for me. I used an OPI that I got in a kit for Christmas year before last. I'm amazed that my fingers still look good.
Yes, they have a few chips, but they are minor and at the edges. With my usual polishes they would be almost completely peeled off most of my fingers by this time.
Now, I know - when I want a mani to last, I'm pulling out the OPI.
