High end nail polish brands tend to sell these products at a high price, but I think I finally found my perfect routine, only with products from Catrice and Essence (drugstore brands).
1/ Base coat: Essence studio nails pro white hardener
This base it awesome! You need a tiny bit to do both hands, and it prevents your nails from getting yellow (if like me you wear nail polish all the time... it is a life saver!)
2/ Top coats: Catrice Quick Dry & High Shine, and Essence Gel-look Top coat
For top coats, I tend to use a basic shiny coat for my hands (Catrice), but when I want a gel effect, I use the Essence gel look top coat. This product is the best gel coat I ever tried (although it is quite thick), and I love to use it on my feet. The gel effect stays so long, and looks like to get out from the salon.
3/ Oil drops: Essence nail art Express dry drops
I apply these oil drops on my nails after my manicure, to prevent any damage after I complete it, and it it not completely dry.
I am not sure it really helps the nails to dry faster, but it works perfectly to protect the manicure.
...and he drop pump makes the application super convenient.
Manicure tip
I hope all these little tips help!
Have a nice week
