Since I moved closer to my mom, I get to do her nails every now and then. She is actually the one who has helped me get better at my cuticle care and how to do a proper clean mani. I still have a lot more to learn, but, going back to my mom, she took cosmetology in Mexico on her high school years, so she pretty much knows how to do mani the 'old style'. I remember her, from my childhood ,that she always had long, red, and shiny nails. Anyways!! life happened (5 kids) and she couldn't do her nails as often. But she could still manage to do her manicure, keep those nails long and strong!!
You are probably asking why am I been so nostalgic, well.... yesterday (Nov 18) was her birthday and I am very thankful to God that I still get to see her and spend time with this amazing woman. And just when I thought I have learned everything this woman could have taught me, she amazes me with more and more!!! anyways.....
I did her nails last week, and I used my usual products to do her nails; and in those are included My Dream Polish 'smooth gem base coat' and 'gem glam top coat'. like I said before, she had 5 kids and ever since she has been a 'stay-at-home-mom' that means she does cleaning, wash dishes (by hand), laundry, and occasionally showering my two precious daughters. So this means that manis do not last that much. My point here is that this awesome products made my mom's mani last 4 days, without chipping!!!! the only reason she had to take this mani off, is because her nails grow very fast; and she doesn't like the gap that happens between the polish and her cuticle when they grow. But other than that and a little wear on the tips, her mani was as shiny and complete as the first day. Here are a couple of pictures to show you what I am taking about.
I did a little review on the base coat not too long ago on my Instagram. Showing the difference of my nail with and without the base coat. This base coat fills the ridges on your nail bed, making them smooth, and it also makes them thicker/stronger, and the bonus part is that it makes your mani last longer. The top coat, is also a big 'must' on your stash of polishes, because it dries quick, it boost the shine on your glitter manis and makes them smooth with one coat; it also boosts the holo on the holographic polishes and not only that but it also helps the shifting of colors on the multichrome polishes. And I have seen that My Dream Polish has different scents on them, she also carries cuticle oils and blams, also scented.
Just to clear some stuff out, I am doing this review to show and share my results with this brand that I find awesome. And didn't want to keep it to myself, I know what a struggle is to find a top and base coat that meets you expectations (I've been there). So to make your life easier I share this.... hope you enjoyed reading this post and that you find it helpful. Have a great day!!!!
