use THIS

-fixes dull/fingerprint/uneven areas
-dries to touch in 2 min
-it literally looks like a flow of liquid glass that instantly makes your manicure look professional.
-make my nails last for 5+ days without any chipping/flaking/dulling

Also, try Essie brand nail polish...the stuff is a bit pricey ($8) but it's so nice and I swear even my non-dominant hand can paint like a professional due to the smooth polish consistency.

PROOF <--This is day 3 (and my job requires me to open and close prescription pill bottles all day so I would say this is pretty impressive)

A few things!

  • Most polishes need at least two coats to look good. This is especially true for white creme-finish polishes.
  • A super common complaint in the nail polish world is how "chalky" or patchy white polishes are. This is due to the types of pigments that get used to make white/off-white polishes. So, it's not necessarily you! It very well might just be the issue with the white polishes you have in your collection.
  • I second the recommendations to add a pearly sheer polish or a glitter topper to make the white creme look less intense. I like Great White by Sally Hansen Triple Shine.
  • Check out your alternatives for a good white that doesn't have all the drawbacks of the typical white cremes! A lot of people love OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and OPI Alpine Snow.
  • The "drop of polish" method is good, but I have found that, like you, I wind up with too much polish in the end. The method you were recommended in your first post is great, but you don't have to only use one drop to make that happen -- you can simply use that route for applying the polish. Continue practicing to find out how much to wipe off the brush before you start the first coat.
  • A quick-dry top coat like Sally Hansen Insta-dri will help you manage nails/manis that are maybe a little gooier and slower-drying than others.
  • If you're prone to fucking up one nail like me, get yourself a nail polish remover dip-it like this. That way, you can just start over on the one fucked up nail and keep the rest of your mani in good shape.
  • One other trick that can make white manis look nice and less chalky is cleaning up around the edges. I have a little (wooden, natural-hair) brush that I dip in my acetone dip-it and brush up any polish that has gotten onto my cuticles or that isn't in line. I find that having clean lines around the nail of a white mani can make it pop, even if the polish itself is difficult to work with.

Just start painting your nails and you will figure out what works best for you eventually. I've compiled a list of helpful links/videos that I've found helpful for me.

Dotting Tools:

  • Cutepolish's video on how to make your own dotting tool.
  • <$2 on amazon. It might take a while to get to you if it's being shipped from China though.

    Stripping tape:

  • $1.08 on amazon.
    The trick when you use stripping tape is to make sure your polish isn't old and too goopy, otherwise it will not be so crisp.
  • And use tweezers like this or this.

    Cleaning

  • You will get the hang of cleaning once you start practicing. If you get better at application you will have to do less cleaning. This will come with practice. I suck at doing nails with little mess. So I use acetone and a slanted brush. This might be a good set to get.
  • /u/ReneeJade 's post about cleaning up with toothpicks is very helpful too.

    Nail Polish Brands

  • This depends on how much money you want to spend. I started with Sinful Colors because no mula. But the formula is kinda bad and takes forever to dry. And Sinful Colors stain your nails really bad in my experience. Sally Hansen is pretty good for the price. I only just acquired a couple of China Glazes and Essie's. They are pretty good but I only buy it when it's less than $3. I don't have experiences with Orly, O.P.I.
  • Julep is okay in my opinion. Personally, I feel like they're not worth the price. One of my bottles just broke when I was turning the cap. And the other one (Julep Sasha) stained my nails really bad :/
  • There are nail polish programs like Julep Maven (who do a free first box with code FREEBOX) and other ones that I don't know about but head onto /r/BeautyBoxes to find out more.

    Top Coat and Base Coat

  • Orly bonder is a good base coat that I use. I don't have experiences with other ones, so I can't compare.
  • Getting a fast drying top coat is probably a good idea. I use Seche Vite but it has a really strong smell and it shrinks your polish. I'm trying to find a new one but Sally Hansen Insta Dry didn't work for me. It smudged my nail art even though it dries pretty fast. Poshe is supposed to be good but I don't have experience with it.

    Nail Strengthening

  • O.P.I. Nail envy is a lot of people's favorites but it didn't work for me personally. Just search this subreddit with "nail envy".
  • Quimica Alemana. This stuff has good reviews and I want to try it.

    Nail file

  • Use a crystal one. This one has good reviews or use an O.P.I. one. I use an O.P.I, pretty happy with it.

    Have fun painting!

I had the same problem, and the issue was the top coat. I was using sally hansen double duty, and it just refused to dry, leaving me with the same fabric texture from my pillow.

Switching to sally hansen insta dri really helped my polish dry much faster, like within 15-20 minutes I can do whatever I want without worrying about my polish smudging.

It's something that you're going to use for every manicure, so it's worth it to get a top coat that you like and that works well. Also, sometimes drugstores have sales or coupons that can get you a better price, so check the weekly circulars for deals.

Hope this helps!

u/anneewannee · 2 pointsr/RedditLaqueristas

I think most rapid dry top coats are intended to be used while the polish is tacky, while I know some other no-chip/shine type top coats are meant to be used when the polish is completely dry.

Seche Vite and Out the Door are good rapid dry options. If you can't find these, then the Sally Hansen Insta Dri is pretty good too.

u/LizziPizzo · 1 pointr/RandomActsOfPolish

I swear by this topcoat.. Everyone seems to swoon over seche vite, but mine has gone goopy loopy in under two months!

u/quitabandita · 1 pointr/MakeupAddiction

I agree with the Seche Vite hate, it sucks. I love this topcoat. I'm on my 3rd bottle, it is amazing and doesn't have the peeling, shrinkage or tip wear issues.

u/jejunebug · 1 pointr/RedditLaqueristas

No. Higher price does not mean less chipping. The base coat and top coat that work for you, means less chipping. Over the past year, I have gone through at least 10 base & top coats, of varying costs. I'm pretty sure I just (as in 3 days ago) found my perfect match. I swipe my nails with rubbing alcohol, use a Sally base, polish, then a Sally quick dry top coat. I am currently sporting a manicure that is FLAWLESS. $1.99 NYC polish, and it looks like gel.
