TGIF friends!

I figured it was time for me to do a new post about my favorite top & base coats since it’s been years since I’ve talked much about them. And things have definitely changed! Also many people have been asking this question of me recently, so here we are. 🙂

Base Coats:

I’m pretty much always using one particular base coat and that is Fillin’ Groovy by KBShimmer. It’s a ridge-filling base coat, which I most definitely need as my nail ridges are getting worse and worse with age. The weird thing is most of my ridges are only on my ring and pinky fingers on both hands! This base coat does a really good job of smoothing out my nails and it’s the best one I’ve found so far, so it’s my holy grail.

Another new (to me anyway) one I like is Deborah Lippmann Fast Girls, which is a fast-dry base coat for when you need to get your mani done ASAP. It really does dry super quick and while it doesn’t fill in ridges as much as a specific ridge-filling base coat, it is nice, though on the pricey side.
