TOPCOAT SAVED MY LIFE!

I have a love hate relationship with nail polish. I love that a simple coat of nail polish can instantly transform plain, haggard hands into dainty, beautiful hands. But if there is one thing in the entire world I absolutely hate it's chipped nail polish.


Chipped nail polish reminds me of the scene in Silence of the Lambs where the killer, Buffalo Bill is torturing his victim in the basement. The victim is screaming and struggling to get out AND notice her nail polish is chipped. Red. Chipped. Polish. Big. No No. That’s what I think about when I see chipped polish, a victim struggling to escape personal hell.

So when I found Orly’s, “Won’t Chip” nail polish I felt like FBI agent Clarice Starling. Case solved!



What’s good about “Won’t Chip” is that it’s fast drying (even though the bottle doesn’t state this). When you inevitably have to use the bathroom 3 minutes after you’ve gotten your nails done you needn’t worry. Seriously, Orly makes a great line of fairly inexpensive nail products like quick dry, nail hardener, stain remover etc. I find they’re way better than Sally Hansen.

And while we’re on the topic, Brucci nail polish; the cheapest of all nail polishes ever invented makes an excellent nail hardener called “Miracle.” I swear by it. Case solved...again!
