Sally Hansen's Continous Treatment

Hey lovelies,

I was on the lookout for a top coat this summer and when I came across this product I thought it was perfect. A base and top coat all in one ? I had to get it.


Claims: base coat, an exclusive formula with Marine Kelp seals and soothes nails while locking on color for up to 10 days. top coat  patented time-release technology protects any nail color and delivers brilliant shine for up to 10 days. 

The base coat protects your nails like it is suppose to do. It doesn't make your nails go yellow which is something you want to take into consideration especially if you are a nail fanatic like me. The top coat works pretty well too. If you use Barry M nail polishes with this it won't last you the 10 days they promise but more like a 3-4 days. After those 3-4 days your nail polish will start chipping. If you use any other sort of nail polish like Ciate or Rimmel , it works perfectly well. I love the top coat because it really does make your nails shine a lot more and it just makes your nails look neat. All in all, I was pretty happy with this Base and Top coat but i'm not sure I will be repurchasing... I will try other Sally Hansen base and top coats though.

You can find this base and top coat at Boots for £9.65. Yes it is under another name because I purchased mine in Singapore but it is the exact same product !

Do you have any other good base or top coats to recommend ? I am looking for more !

NOTD : metallic-y pink

When I was given Sally Hansen's Diamond Strength in Platinum I thought it would be one of my nail polishes that were going to be left untouched, instead I found a pretty cool way to use it !

What I do is I put a layer of base coat followed by my "main" color. In this case, I used Barry M's Strawberry Ice Cream but you can use any color ! After having done that I let it dry and top it up with Platinum ! I just love the metallic-y look it gives. I know my nails are not exactly in their best condition in this picture :( Whoopsies.
