I have always done my own pedicures because I find it so relaxing. I'm just starting to experiment with different looks like layering polishes, adding sparkles and charms and being really creative. I do love watching the Youtube videos on nail designs and now i'm experimenting with my toes because it's fun! I wanted to say a few words about this clear polish finish because it really keeps my nail from chipping. I've experienced wearing my polish for over 2wks without seeing any chips. I use it both as a base and a top coat and I do apply two coats on top because I like the high gloss finish.
