Another little holiday beauty update for you, this time on nails! Due to the lovely low weight-limit restrictions on Ryan Air I couldn’t take many shades with me (plus I was only away for 10 days) so I narrowed it down to three – plus the essential basics. So the shades I chose were…
The essentials I took were:
Essie Moisturising Base Coat
Nails Inc Kensington Glossy Top Coat*
Quickies Nail Remover Wipes (not as good as the Bourjois 1 Second remover pot, but more travel friendly)
I also took a little peek at the shades my Mum decided to bring away with her… she chose a couple of classic OPI colours: Shanghai Shimmer and Rosy Future (plus her favourite No 7 Top Coat)
Speaking of top coats – my much loved Nails Inc Top Coat is on it’s last legs – so I need suggestions for a new one. My main thing is it has to be quick drying above everything else – and I mean properly dry, not just touch dry as this is why I love the Nails Inc. Of course I could just re-purchase the Nails Inc and I might, but wanted to investigate others to try first…you never know if the next Holy Grail product is just around the corner!
So please leave a comment and tell me what your favourite top coat is!
*PR sample
My favourite topcoats at the moment are…sally hansen instadri (the one in the red bottle) and essie’s good to go. I only use quick dry ones because I am impatient!! I used to swear buy seche vite but I have since noticed that it doesn’t really matter what the topcoat is if my nails aren’t in good condition in the first place. I’ve noticed a huge difference since changing my nail polish remover to the Cutex Nourishing one (lilac lid, milky coloured liquid):) xx
I like INM Out The Door, Orly Polishield and China Glaze Fast Forward topcoats 🙂
Essie cute as a button is lovely:)

My holy grail top coat is seche vite. I know it’s got “bad stuff” in but I’ve never found any other top coat that dries so quickly and also seems to prevent the dents that I seem to always get. Love it!
Love the look of the Essie shade, but sometimes want something a bit neutral like the shades your mum took.
Jessica’s Brilliance Gloss something topcoat is awesome – it’s got colour enhancers and UV protectors to keep the colour fresh, if I recall correctly. I’m using Seche Vite now but still prefer Jessica – a rather under-rated, yet brilliant, nail brand.
OPI’s Shanghai Shimmer looks gorgeous!
The Sally Hansen top coat in the red bottle is amazing.
Sally Hansen Dry & Go Protein Top Coat is a little miracle! 🙂
I’ve heard a lot of good things about the Seche Vite top coat but they don’t sell it in the UK – you could order it online though! xo
You could try the Seche Vite top coat – I’ve heard loadsa good things about them – but they don’t sell them here in the UK (you could just order them online though) 🙂
