The answer to week long chip-free nails

Hello! I am currently writing this feeling a bit sheepish as I haven't blogged in quite a while (something you can't really get away with when you're attempting to lure in new readers!). Don't get me wrong, I have been thinking about blogging, reading other people's blogs (Essie, I love you) and making lists of blog post ideas, but I've been falling at the last hurdle- the writing bit.

However, today when I was paying for something in a shop (would you judge if I said discounted Easter treats?!) the cashier complimented my nail colour. When I went to reply with the product recommendation, I suddenly realised I have no idea what I was wearing because I haven't had to reapply in over a week. That means my nails have remained chip-free for a whole week! Now that is something to blog about.

So do you want to know the secret? Well here it is...


Models Own Base Coat (£4.99) is the best base coat I have ever used and will ever as I would not bother trying anything else now! Honestly, it's incredible!

So I love Barry M nail varnishes because they have such an amazing colour range, but I do find that they chip far too easily. I've always been loyal to Mr M but it did start to take it's toll so I began to go elsewhere (any Rimmel variety, especially Salon Pro). But luckily during a Models Own online haul, I spotted this base coat and thought I'd give it a go. 

When I first applied it, the drying speed was very quick and I was a happy bunny. Little did I know that was only the start of its magical powers. Put any nail varnish on top, and it somehow turns it into an invincible layer, ready to tackle any activity!

Let me know if you've had any break through discoveries, I'm all ears!

Georgie.
