O.P.I Top and Base Coat Review
As a result of lots of free time and minimal working my love for nail art has blossomed into a slight obsession! Seeing as my nails are always painted I had decided it was about time I had invested in some decent top and base coat. The ones I used previously were from a set my mum received one Christmas and gave it straight to me about 8 years ago. So yes, it was definite about time.
My original choice was to pop to boots and buy a cheap set, but I thought again when I find my nails usually chip a lot and the base coat doesn't protect my nail from stains with my old ones so buying cheap ones would be no better. I knew I would have to pay a little more for quality however I would rather than have the same issues as I did!
Now, before you think I did actually spend a fortune on these bottles, in fact I had found myself a real bargain! At the moment I am loving Amazon, and I searched for O.P.I top and base coat and there they were, at the very top of the page, for less than £12! Immediately brought the pair of 15ml coats with no postage cost!
Since using the O.P.I base coat my nails have never stained or absorbed any of my nail varnish colours as they did before. The base coat is essentially like a primer for the nails, it allows the main nail colours to sit smoothly on the nail and helps prevent streaks and lumps.
The O.P.I top coat is great as it has a higher chip resistance in comparison to cheaper, lower quality top coats. I find the colour stays on my nails for days with minimal if any chips. I also find it easier to remove my nail varnish when I use these two coats, I'm unsure why but it is so much easier.
Over all, a fantastic purchase and definitely worth what I paid for them. I would think twice about paying full price for them as I do believe they can add up to a high expense. However, I have used these two way over 10 times now and they still look as full as they did when I first received them. If you're into nails and looking for a bargain, definitely pop on Amazon and buy yourself these. Great price, great product, excellent base and finish for nails polish, so why not?
