NOTD: Sally Hansen Nail Prisms - Diamond

This is a really fun nail polish. I only did 2 coats and think it would have looked better with 3. Next time I will try 3 for sure.

I applied 1 coat of Avon's NAIL EXPERTS Smooth Beginnings Base Coat, 2 coats of Diamond and 1 coat of Avon's NAIL EXPERTS UV Gloss Guard Top Coat. Using Avon's base and top coat has helped my polish last at least 4 days with no chipping. That says a lot since I work with my hands daily (I hand craft jewelry for a living in case you didn't know). When I clean my house, I wear those handy rubber gloves to keep my skin from drying out but it really helps the polish last longer too.

    I always love a good holo! Instead of doing 3 coats of the same polish, you might try this over a silver/grey or black. More bang, less buck. LOL

    I wish Holographic polishes were more available than the crackle coats. These are have such a pretty effect, I'm so over the whole crackle crazy already...
