Can anyone explain why it is that the varnish lasts longer on your toes than your hands. I have painted my toes and done a really nice nail art design, which I did 4 weeks ago and it still looks as good as when I first did it. I did the same design on my nails and it only lasted around a...

I'm after a bit of advise. I have been told that I have a flare for doing nail art. I currently use striper pens when I do line work, but when painting pictures I use acrylic paint on top of a varnish, then seal with OPI top coat. The problem I have is that after a day or too the top coat...

I have seen a product by Creative called Stickey Base Coat, does it really do what it says. Do you have to use Creative Nail Varnishes and Top coat, or can I use it with my OPI varnishes. If it is not very good, can you recommend a base coat and top coat? Thanks
