Misa Bang Basecoat & Breakneck Topcoat


I am on the never ending quest for the prefect base and top coat. I have tried sooooooo many I've lost count. In a moment of impluse I added Misa's BANG and BREAKNECK to a head2toebeauty order thinking, well it's cheap and they can't be any worse then the others.

They are actually better, I am really please with both.

Misa BANG Basecoat is a cloudy clear polish which goes on effortlessly and evens out the nail bed (which is important for me at the moment as I accidentally dropped a knife on my ring finer nail and it has a chip out of it half way down) My polish stays put when I wear this and tip wear seems to take longer to develop.

Misa BREAKNECK topcoat is just lovely, it is a lot thinner then some of the other fast drying topcoats on the market (I'm looking at you Poshe and Seche Vite) It doesn't cause bubbles (hmmm, Out the Door) and most importantly NO SHRINKAGE, sorry to yell but my number one hate of fast drying topcoats is that they shrink the tip of the polish and you get a horrible line of nail showing. Ok so BREAKNECK doesn't dry quite as quickly as the aforementioned brands but they are touch dry in about five mins and then completely dry in 15-20 mins dependng on the polish and how many coats are used. Another plus, no brush marks!

I can't say that these are a HG but they are the closest thing I've been able to find, I will continue my search but will have these sitting around as a backup.

I would try these if I didn't have so many other brands. It's nice to get free top and base coats but then you can't try others. I hate to have a lot of open bottles.

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my blog. I will be adding my thoughts, tips and reviews of different things relating to BEAUTY. It is very important to me that beauty is not just what we see on the outside, it's also how we feel on the inside. This blog is my way of sharing my thoughts on inner and outer beauty.
