Allison's Trade Secrets: long live the polish!

This trade secret has evolved out of a trial. I used the OPI Matte Nail Envy as a base coat and photographed my nails on day one to see how long they would last. Usually my nails chip after a few days but this time they lasted a week!

This product is usually favored in male manicures as it has no shine, but helps to keep the nails looking neat and strengthens. It's my best friend as a base coat now!

Additional tip: Keep nails on the shorter side (not much longer that the end of the finger) if you really want to further prevent nails chipping.

Day One	Day Seven
A nice coat of the OPI colour Monsooner or Later	You can see that it's touch worn on some of the ends but my polish never looks this good a week later!
