topcoat? basecoat? or both?





From left to right:

I normally use a basecoat, as well as a topcoat. 


Since my nails are a little bit weak and like to chip very often, I always use a basecoat, which hardens my nails and makes them stronger. Currently I`m using the one from Essie and I`m quite happy with it. It really hardens your nails and mine aren`t as soft anymore, as they have been.


For a topcoat I currently switch between the Chanel mat topcoat and the one from Essie. 
It always depends, how I want the colour to look: very shiny or mat. 


In my view, the Essie nailpolishes have really great quality for their price. They give a nice finish and they have some amazing colours. Further, they`re very longlasting, which I like, because I don`t want to do my nails every day. 


The Chanel ones also have really unique colours and I have sticked to this brand for very long. 
The only con is, that they are more of a one day nailpolish,  because they chip much  faster. 
But I`m really into some of their signature colours (Rouge noir for example) and decided to overlook the fact, that they chip that fast.
