For me, all the things you are saying help polish stay longer and look better, but I would venture to say that top coat has been the most important difference for me when it comes to manicure longevity. I apply 2 coats of top coat when I first paint my nails, then I do a coat every other day until I'm ready to do another manicure. I also make sure my tips are sealed every time I apply polish or top/base coat. I can actually see the top coat get dull on the second day, just from the day to day use of my hands. Adding more top coat instantly boosts their shine and thickness. People ask me if mine are gel, quite a compliment. I add top coat to my toenails about once a week. Because I wear socks most of the time at home, my toenails do not get nearly the abrasions my fingernails probably get. But it still helps keep my toenails looking good. So someone who does not do quite as much with their hands may want to reapply top coat every 3rd day etc. I also use only quick dry topcoat, and I wait between 3 and 5 minutes between coats. That helps speed the process a bit.
I'm happy, that this method helps you. In my experience, I can refresh my top coat only 1 time after 2-4 days. The next layer make worst adhesion of base coat, and some nails start to cheep off. 😰 And also polish wear time depends on base coat too. 🤔
Wow you read my mind and I love your profile pic! My black cat reminds me of Bagheera😂I thought I was crazy for re-doing the top coat every other day..the most it lasted was 4 days but that was incredibly rare. I definitely use my hands a lot throughout the day. I even shower and do dishes before I paint my nails, to avoid extra water & wear/tear on them. it’s exhausting because the nails only look sleek and shiny on day 1. And by day 3, the tips are wearing off…so I usually do it every other day😢
This hand looks very cute. The Makartet air nail dryer is recommended here, and the drying speed is fast. Today, there is 20% off, which is more favorable.
It works!! I have had my polish on for a week, and it has lasted like gel. followed her directions exactly, using the same brands of product (Orly bonder, 2 coats) and procedures. Only one variation: I did 2 coats base coat, 2 coats polish, one coat top- coat. I bumped one of my fingers before it dried, so added another coat of polish, and another coat of top-coat. I'm extremely pleased! I want to change color this weekend, so may not wait another week, but there has been NO chips so far. 4-22-19. Still no chips!
Be honest here, does it really last 2 weeks? Do you do any house cleaning at all, or cook? Because that also makes a big difference. Mine don't last more than 3 days. I cook and clean and also use a water based nail polish, to avoid chemicals in my body.
I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but growing up, my mom would mix together a bit of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide and gently scrub the yellowed nails to make them white again! Works every time!
This is a good way, thanks for sharing. I would like to recommend the Makartt air nail dryer, which is very fast, and today it is 20% off, which is very favorable.
Let me tell you that I was so upset because no nail polish could last me more than 1 day, the alcohol part resolve EVERYTHING because my nails were too rich in natural oils and also my acetone were very kind , this tutorial it’s a life saver 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It's nice to see a manicure that lasts a couple of weeks that isn't a gel manicure or dip manicure. Gives me hope that regular nailpolish can last! thanks for sharing!
A big tip to make regular nail polish last longer is to use a dehydrator and then protein bonder under your base coat, which are 2 more professional products you can find online. It really will extend for some time, in addition to the trick she mentioned of cleansing the nail plate thoroughly with alcohol
I am getting the feeling that you are a little bit like me. We never stop obsessing over nails. Either we bite them constantly or groom them consciously. It is really funny, because I bit my nails until kinda a year ago since I was a kid, now I try to grow them out as well looking as possible.
This is teaching me how to make sure I don’t have to switch up or redo my manicure every other day. I’ve been doing my own nails since I was 18 and I used to use just the nail polish alone but I learned last year that I have to use base and top coat, as well as making sure my nail polish isn’t goopy when I put on the top coat. Thank you for helping us learn how to make our manicures last more than 3 days.
I've been a cosmetologist for 43 yrs. You did a great video gal. If they do it right like you showed it should last 2 weeks unless you have your hand sin lots of water. Like washing dishes. Wear gloves! Love the Essie too.
Great tutorial! I'd like to share something that works for me. I do my thumbs last. This way I'm be able to use them to clean up mistakes on my other fingers without messing up my thumbs.
@Tina K. Wow that's a great tip! I like to clean up my mistakes with my thumb nails also cause that's how they clean up the mistakes at the nail salons on me. Never thought to paint them last. Good idea!
I am also quite serious in my nail care- even with a past history of chewing them off as a child. But, what I am in love with in this video is that you seem to be sitting on your livingroom floor. That is how it is done! Thank you for that 😃
Thank you sooo much Milabu! After watching your video I bought Mavala nail strengthener. I'm using it for about a month now my nails are strong and long. After having brittle, weak and short nails for many years, this is like a miracle. Thanks again! 🙂
Wow!! Better than having them done by a salon. Your hands are beautiful! I usually rush through doing my nails but obviously taking your time and going through these steps makes a difference. Thanks so much!
@@Milabuco yeah me too unless I need to do them to go to special occasion and need them to look top notch...I might do a thin coat or so and maybe skip some of the base or topcoat steps if needed if pressed for time.
I think we must wait for an hour before getting back to work, cooking, driving and opening doors and things . If you don't let them cure and dry by WAITING, you court disaster by dinging them after all that work !
We do almost the same exact routine! :) just having solid healthy nails really helps polish last. My nails tend to peel and those nails will ALWAYS chip first. It's about having a good canvas first!
My miracle product for nails is a base coat. You could also just paint nails with it. It's sooooo good. It's the julep oxygen nail in pink...it works well as a base coat for French manicures or any color or by itself! I used this and my nails started to grow super fast while I have nail polish on. Idk what it is and I'm not sponsored or anything but seriously that stuff is amazing!!! I'll have to try the protein one too!
I used to have that problem. The whole using acetone to dry out the nail before you polish, works really well. Also, finding the right top coat is magical. I use no uv gel polishes, but a non gel top coat. I went from chips in two days to havi g them last a week, but I always apply another top coat half way through the week. Dont know about two weeks. Havent tried that yet.
I have thin bendy nails, my trick is using acetone before u paint!!! I use Cutex , the green nourishing one. Before then, mine would chip the next day but using that really works and i can go a whole week, no chips at all. Its been two weeks for me now and i only have a small chip, no top coat either
@@marlaschreiber9934 ya I'm 25 today, still haven't bitten my nails. It's weird how you can do something for 20 years but just decide to finally stop. It's nice. Clear polish keeps me from biting too
I have a glass nail file from Sephora. I absolutely love it. I also use cuticle cream and O'keefe's working hands (it really helps if you wash your hands alot.) :)
thank you so much for this iam addicted to biting my nails and spend tons of money on acrylic which damages them more..but when i take them off my nails break easily and wont grow due to me biting them for years. I had given up on how to get them to grow naturally so i can same money so thank you! thank you! thank you!! :)
I’m having some serious nail envy! Mine are so thin and flimsy they break if they grow more than a couple of millimetres past the tip of my fingers! Ugh!
Hey, I had the same issue. My nails just didnt grow. They were weak and would just break. But I changed my diet and now they are strong and long I even have to file them down shorter. Maybe check if you are getting all the nutrients you need from your diet. Hope it helps.
Yep. I play guitar and the left hand must stay very short. However, occasionally, I stop playing guitar and let them grow to be all glamour and girly, and then...back to short left hand again.
I love that polish remover, the Orly base coat is a GAME CHANGER, been using forever, and I've never thought to try it under the Essie gel polish. I honestly wasn't crazy impressed with the Essie 2 step system, because the Orly is SO GOOD under normal polish and prevents chipping. I usually get longer lasting manis with Orly and cheap polish, with seche vite top coat. Can't wait for the Mani I just did yesterday to chip so I can try it with the Orly and Essie gel. 😂
5:56 -> Am I the only one getting the chills when she’s scraping her nails?! I HAD to mute the video... AAAAHHHH 😖😫😵 Thanks for sharing your routine though! I quit biting my nails about 2 weeks ago after 18 years of being the worst nail and finger biter. My whole fingertips were a MESS... I quit with the help of Byte-X, the nasty nail polish stuff. Can’t believe it worked. As soon as I saw that my nails started growing in a few days time, I didn’t want to bite them anymore. First time EVER that I’ve got nails!! Now I’m here, watching nail care tutorials, because I don’t wanna mess up again. 😂🥳
Yay! Finally a nail video! Haha I’m always admiring your nails in your hair videos 🤪 and then scroll to see what color you are wearing. If you need a video idea I’m totally interested in your polish collection 💁🏻♀️ your favs and such. 💕
i was a nail biter too, it was very bad, i bit them until they were bleeding. i even tried that bitter clear nail polish that's supposed to make you stop, it didn't work. i used to bite them until i went to highschool, then i asked my mom to take me to get a manicure before school started and tried my hardest not to bite them until the appointment. then after i got a manicure and saw how nice my nails looked with polish there was no turning back 😂 i actually got into nail blogs in highschool and started collecting nail polish. it accumulated to having over 250 bottles over the years. now i only paint my nails nude, burgundy or some shade of red.
Wow that’s amazing! It was so rewarding to see how the nails looked with a beautiful manicure 💅🏻 those are definitely my favorite nail shades to rotate
Love the Orly bonder, used it for a long time. It has maintained my polish chip free for about a week. However, last two polishes its chipped within 2 days so time to switch! Thanks for all the info.
If you have the time, you should wait until each layer of polish isn’t tacky for maximum polish longevity. One of the reasons nail salon manicures don’t last is because they rush through the service and paint over wet layers 😑 it’s one of the reasons I stopped going to salons and learned to do them myself. Now they always last over a week.
How do you get your nails to not chip when washing dishes, washing your hair, and so on? 😣 That’s my biggest problem and I just go back to biting my nails UGH. Having to pay $40-50 for dip powder like acrylics is just bothering me lol.
I use a glass file from OPI that really helps my nails from shredding. Sometimes more aggressive files can destroy my nails. I do a lot of the same steps, and my polish lasts well for a week with few, if any, chips. But every time I’m tempted to try for an 8th day, I end up regretting it.
Simply nailogical has great tips! My nail polish stays on for about a week now. Wrapping the tip of the nail and having a good topcoat is sooo important.
guys my nail polish used to stay on 2 days max. but I started using shellac and i've never been more amazed. my nails grow longer because they are stronger, it lasts up to 3 weeks, it doesn't chip and it's easy to do at home. i love it so muchhhhh
Great video! Thank you!! The only thing i wish you would have included is how long you wait between the 1st and 2nd coat of polish and then how long before you hit it with the top coat. Your nails, hands and eyes are spectacularly gorgeous!!💜💜💜
I think her hand is also very cute. I would like to recommend the Makartt air nail dryer, which is very fast and has a 20% off today. It is recommended.
I use those polar nail buffers after removing color and wash my hands. Takes my nails back to a natural pink shade. Try the Cuccio base coat. It makes nail color stay on for so much longer, like almost two weeks. And I'm hard on my nails.
When 2020 hit I went in search of advice to do my own nails and I got the best from you and I’ve followed you ever since for pretty much most things to do with nails and makeup etc . CAN YOU PLEASE SHOW US HOW TO DO CATS EYES ONLY USING REGULAR NAIL POLISHES . I don’t want to use gel polishes. THANKS IN ADVANCE
I bit my nails until I was 43 and I went to an acupuncturist. I now grow then fairly easy although sometimes they break. It’s amazing to grow long nails.
Been a nail technician for 7 years and you did a great job!! All of your steps are accurate and make such a difference in how your polish applies and lasts!
How can you say that?!! It is completely unnecessary for her to use acetone!! It's horrible for nails! And using anything but a glass nail file unnecessarily chews up natural nails too.
Using acetone every couple of weeks on your nails, so long as you rehydrate with a nourishing oil is completely harmless. I am in continuous contact with acetone daily for my career and my nails do just fine, so long as I am diligent with hydrating my nails and skin. And also so long as you finish your edge with a soft grit file OR an glass file you shouldn’t have a problem. Glass files are a wonderful option for nail care. Being mindful that everyone’s nails are different and some may be more sensitive than others and require gentler care, is what I do. She took the proper steps that almost any professional would use in the salon and its working well for her. In fact she used similar protocol that CND a Professional Product line educates service providers to use in the salon. I have a very successful career , love what I do, and my clients are extremely happy. I have invested a lot of effort and time into my education and am very confident in my practices. So I definitely can compliment Milabu on her nail care routine confidently, regardless of your personal opinions on how you prefer to do nail care and what works for you.
Really enjoyed this...I have naturally grown nails they are hard and long never used the cuticle remover before picking some up tomorrow. Going to order that brand polish...noticed how it glided on your nails.
Your nails are so beautiful and natural i love that you use base coat there are many of them i use one with calcium so my nails stay strong because i have round shape and they break a lot...oil is a great advice because the skin around is so dry in my case and is great advice and video is super helpful and love they way you take care of your nails like so many little things but they are really beautiful
I used to bite my nails up until right after High School as well. Your nails a beautiful. I was using at home gel polish and devolved an allergy and in the progress of getting the gel polish off my nails dried out and where ruined I'm currently working on getting them back to being healthy.
Love, Love, Love that you did a video on this! So is it still hard for you to want to bite your nails? I’m ver jealous that you are able to grow such long beautiful nails!!!
I too bit my nails until I was 17. I was determined to have nice nails for my high school graduation. I did and since then I've had terrific nails. I never wear polish because I think people will think they're fake. Thanks for the video.
@Virginia Holliday oh paint your 💅 nails. They will be so pretty and sexy 😍! Who cares what people think! If anyone asks say you were naturally blessed with thicker strong nails! They will be 💚 green with envy! Enjoy your long strong nails! I'm Jelly!
If you want you can always get gel nails they last a LONG time for me and where I get them they are pretty cheap (25 dollars) maybe cheaper at other places
I was the same way bad nail biter. I let the grow and did look just like that but after a while they would crack so much I gave up and started putting hard gel on them. Where strong but always cracked if didn't have gel on them so now do glue on nails cause they won't grow with out breaking
i just love ur video. i was the same way, i bit my nails til i was 19, had a boyfriend who made fun of me and tell me i had boy hands and i somehow just quit. i do my nails almost the exact same way of you..but i noticed u didnt do anything to the underside... i take peroxide on a qtip and rub under them, they get really clean and white and look ahmazing. let me know what you think, maybe u could try it. i use to use a tool that sort of ground them out from under but then they.got thin and would break. so the peroxide method works the best for me.
Yeeeesss.... love this video!!! I can only make my polish last a week. Never longer 😢. I love that polish remover too. That's the one i always use 😋 First to watch, like and comment 😁🤗😚

@@treblegames84 it last a long time?

i guess whats the point if youre just going to paint them again, peroxide would be damaging too
That would weaken your nails just leave them I do mine are more yellow then this I apply nail polish all the time anyways no one sees it

i used to bite them until i went to highschool, then i asked my mom to take me to get a manicure before school started and tried my hardest not to bite them until the appointment. then after i got a manicure and saw how nice my nails looked with polish there was no turning back 😂 i actually got into nail blogs in highschool and started collecting nail polish. it accumulated to having over 250 bottles over the years. now i only paint my nails nude, burgundy or some shade of red.
Wow that’s amazing! It was so rewarding to see how the nails looked with a beautiful manicure 💅🏻 those are definitely my favorite nail shades to rotate
One thing i saw you do, but not mention that i think is really important is painting the tips of the nails with color and the top coat.
Also do the base & top coat underneath your free edge
You nails look really strong and the nail polish you chose is so pretty! 🌸
Thank you!
Love the Orly bonder, used it for a long time. It has maintained my polish chip free for about a week. However, last two polishes its chipped within 2 days so time to switch! Thanks for all the info.
Yeah they reformulated Orly Bonder years ago, it’s not good anymore. 😢
I really want to try this but as a beginner, how long do you wait between reapply another layer or the top coat?
If you have the time, you should wait until each layer of polish isn’t tacky for maximum polish longevity.
One of the reasons nail salon manicures don’t last is because they rush through the service and paint over wet layers 😑 it’s one of the reasons I stopped going to salons and learned to do them myself. Now they always last over a week.
Pls do a video on how to grow your nails fast!
The CND cuticle eraser is MUCH less on amazon!! Thanks for another great video!
What a beautiful nail color😍 I enjoyed every step. Thank you for this video.
Glad you enjoyed it ❤️
How do you get your nails to not chip when washing dishes, washing your hair, and so on? 😣 That’s my biggest problem and I just go back to biting my nails UGH. Having to pay $40-50 for dip powder like acrylics is just bothering me lol.
Try using gloves if you can
I use a glass file from OPI that really helps my nails from shredding. Sometimes more aggressive files can destroy my nails. I do a lot of the same steps, and my polish lasts well for a week with few, if any, chips. But every time I’m tempted to try for an 8th day, I end up regretting it.
Gave up regular files years ago.
How did you girls find out about glass files? I've never heard of them or anyone I've ever known to use them in my 44 years! Lol
Your nails ALWAYS looks nice, thanks for sharing your tried-and-true nail tips!!! 💝💝🙏🙏
My nail polish chips after day one! lol
Love from a small channel
I think my record is 3 days
❤️❤️
Cindy Snow Same lol!
Simply nailogical has great tips! My nail polish stays on for about a week now. Wrapping the tip of the nail and having a good topcoat is sooo important.
Sofya Podzorova
Thanks I will keep that in mind!
guys my nail polish used to stay on 2 days max. but I started using shellac and i've never been more amazed. my nails grow longer because they are stronger, it lasts up to 3 weeks, it doesn't chip and it's easy to do at home. i love it so muchhhhh
From what I understand this is a gel polish, which should last longer, but it does have downsides like it dries and damages nails.
I love that you use your own nails and use quality product's to maintain them 💕💖
*Ohh I love your nails. Who else loves them* ? 😍😍😍 *Mine always break* 😥
Me too her nails are gorgeous
My regular polish is lasting about 4-7 days. It's enough for me.
Great video! Thank you!! The only thing i wish you would have included is how long you wait between the 1st and 2nd coat of polish and then how long before you hit it with the top coat. Your nails, hands and eyes are spectacularly gorgeous!!💜💜💜
Guurl you look so cute with this hairstyle !😍😍
Thank you! Messy bun for the win 🙌🏻
I think her hand is also very cute. I would like to recommend the Makartt air nail dryer, which is very fast and has a 20% off today. It is recommended.
Love it! I always thought you had fake nails cause they’re so long lol. And you look cute in this video ☺️
So many people assume that lol I’ll take the compliment 🙌🏻
I also feel very cute. I would like to recommend the Makartt air nail dryer, which is very fast and has a 20% off today. Recommended!
I’ve been wanting to see this video for a while! I’m glad you decided to make one. Your nails always look so good!
Love the video and I'm sure it will help me a lot. Thank you!
Love the style u have them, and the color and shine is beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I hope i can find the nail care products u used.🙂
Love Essie...but haven’t tried that line.
I use those polar nail buffers after removing color and wash my hands. Takes my nails back to a natural pink shade. Try the Cuccio base coat. It makes nail color stay on for so much longer, like almost two weeks. And I'm hard on my nails.
I NEEDED THIS SO BAD THANK YOUUUUU
Love this, I think you should do more nail tip video your nails are amazing, can’t believe how long they are !!
your natural nails are pretty. Mine need some serious TLC. Which is what I am doing right now.
When 2020 hit I went in search of advice to do my own nails and I got the best from you and I’ve followed you ever since for pretty much most things to do with nails and makeup etc . CAN YOU PLEASE SHOW US HOW TO DO CATS EYES ONLY USING REGULAR NAIL POLISHES .
I don’t want to use gel polishes. THANKS IN ADVANCE
I just want to take a moment to appreciate how beautiful your nails are! And let's not forget, how beautiful you are
I bit my nails until I was 43 and I went to an acupuncturist. I now grow then fairly easy although sometimes they break. It’s amazing to grow long nails.
Been a nail technician for 7 years and you did a great job!! All of your steps are accurate and make such a difference in how your polish applies and lasts!
How can you say that?!! It is completely unnecessary for her to use acetone!! It's horrible for nails! And using anything but a glass nail file unnecessarily chews up natural nails too.
Using acetone every couple of weeks on your nails, so long as you rehydrate with a nourishing oil is completely harmless. I am in continuous contact with acetone daily for my career and my nails do just fine, so long as I am diligent with hydrating my nails and skin. And also so long as you finish your edge with a soft grit file OR an glass file you shouldn’t have a problem. Glass files are a wonderful option for nail care. Being mindful that everyone’s nails are different and some may be more sensitive than others and require gentler care, is what I do. She took the proper steps that almost any professional would use in the salon and its working well for her. In fact she used similar protocol that CND a Professional Product line educates service providers to use in the salon. I have a very successful career , love what I do, and my clients are extremely happy. I have invested a lot of effort and time into my education and am very confident in my practices. So I definitely can compliment Milabu on her nail care routine confidently, regardless of your personal opinions on how you prefer to do nail care and what works for you.
Thank you. I really appreciate it ❤️ It’s taken years to get a nail care routine down that I can do myself and really enjoy my natural nails.
Eew!! You could be a hand model!
You're such a great step by step teacher!
Your nails and hands a beautiful! I wish mine would grow that long without breaking super short. Great video thank you!!
I love the color of nail polish on your nails looks good
Love this! Very informative. Thanks for sharing.
Gosh this came in handy... I do my own nails and just today happens to be nail day 😌😏
Love all your videos!
Aww yay! Perfect timing
Really enjoyed this...I have naturally grown nails they are hard and long never used the cuticle remover before picking some up tomorrow. Going to order that brand polish...noticed how it glided on your nails.
Your nails look great. I like the steps you shared🌺
CND also has some nice polish remover.
Your nails are so beautiful and natural i love that you use base coat there are many of them i use one with calcium so my nails stay strong because i have round shape and they break a lot...oil is a great advice because the skin around is so dry in my case and is great advice and video is super helpful and love they way you take care of your nails like so many little things but they are really beautiful
I get my done in town but i love to have a go again 😂❤🎉😊
I used to bite my nails up until right after High School as well. Your nails a beautiful.
I was using at home gel polish and devolved an allergy and in the progress of getting the gel polish off my nails dried out and where ruined I'm currently working on getting them back to being healthy.
Beautiful finger nails, I will try couple of the products suggested
Wow your nails are so long. So healthy 👌🏼
Your nails are so beautiful! Have you ever considered shaping them almond? I think that shape would suit you soo perfectly. 🤗
Weakens the sides of your nails. The shape she has now helps keep the nail stronger.
@@catherinewink8433 I have almond shaped nails and they are pretty long and strong, I think it's the filing technique that matters 😊
I couldn’t find alcohol wipes in my apartment so I used tequila 🤷🏻♀️
Love, Love, Love that you did a video on this! So is it still hard for you to want to bite your nails? I’m ver jealous that you are able to grow such long beautiful nails!!!
No, not at all. Ever since I stopped, I stopped for good :)
Your nails are freaking beautiful!!! That length!!! 😍
I gotta try this, cuz, guuurl, my nail polish barely lasts a day. Your nails look bomb.
I too bit my nails until I was 17. I was determined to have nice nails for my high school graduation. I did and since then I've had terrific nails. I never wear polish because I think people will think they're fake. Thanks for the video.
@Virginia Holliday oh paint your 💅 nails. They will be so pretty and sexy 😍! Who cares what people think! If anyone asks say you were naturally blessed with thicker strong nails! They will be 💚 green with envy! Enjoy your long strong nails! I'm Jelly!
Obsessed with your nails and brows ❤
Early! I was planning to paint my nails today so this was perfect timing ☺️ 💅
Same ☝️
Same here I'm going to do them tomorrow..💅
If you want you can always get gel nails they last a LONG time for me and where I get them they are pretty cheap (25 dollars) maybe cheaper at other places
Nail goals 😍😍
You have gorgeous nails !
I was the same way bad nail biter. I let the grow and did look just like that but after a while they would crack so much I gave up and started putting hard gel on them. Where strong but always cracked if didn't have gel on them so now do glue on nails cause they won't grow with out breaking
I'd be interested in seeing you do a tutorial on Poly Gel Nails.
Your nails are beautiful!
Beautiful hands and nails you have. 💅💅
Thank you 🙏
i just love ur video. i was the same way, i bit my nails til i was 19, had a boyfriend who made fun of me and tell me i had boy hands and i somehow just quit. i do my nails almost the exact same way of you..but i noticed u didnt do anything to the underside... i take peroxide on a qtip and rub under them, they get really clean and white and look ahmazing. let me know what you think, maybe u could try it. i use to use a tool that sort of ground them out from under but then they.got thin and would break. so the peroxide method works the best for me.
Yeeeesss.... love this video!!! I can only make my polish last a week. Never longer 😢. I love that polish remover too. That's the one i always use 😋
First to watch, like and comment 😁🤗😚
It’s so good!
Good colour and ur hand looks amazing in that😍👍
Thank you!
How did you grow them so long and strong after nail biting?
Hi. How long do you let coats 1 and 2 dry for? How long for the top coat?
