INM Nails Base Coat and Top Coat Review

My mani on DAY 1

Thank you for visiting! Today I am sharing this gradient jelly sandwich mani I wore for 4 days using INM Nails base coat and top coat products. I rarely wear manis for that long, and when I do, they don't look as good as this one did after Day 4. 

INM Nails Base Coat and Top Coat Review

My mani on DAY 1

Press Sample

Purchased by Me

I am very excited to share this post because this mani is a repeat. I initially created this manicure at our first DFW area nail meet-up about 9 months ago!  I wanted to try this again, so this time I hand painted my cuticles using gold acrylic paint (lasted me a almost a day). 

To get this look I sandwiched a nude to white gradient between a glitter jelly polish. I did this on Monday and took the 4 day photo on Thursday of this week, since it was the first time the polish chipped/peeled/or looked worn.

Layers to create this look:

• Base coat: INM Nails Clear Bond base coat, 1 coat
• Fancy Gloss - Golden Swan ,  1 coat 
• Applied a nude to white gradient using Essie - Pillow Talk and INM Nails O.T.D. nail Lacquer - White Porcelain. 
• Fancy Gloss - Golden Swan ,  1 coat
• Top Coat: INM Nails Out The Door Topcoat, 1 coat

Golden Swan is a white jelly polish packed with different gold, holo, and silver glitters. Since the jelly is sheer, I was able to sandwich the nude to white gradient in between.

DAY 1

End of DAY 4

Base coat and top coat both had very fast dry time. The top coat had a nice glossy finish. There was no need to add a second coat, 1 coat was sufficient to smooth out any bumps from the glitter polish. I was actually very impressed. I did not have any issues with the base coat or top coat on application. 

Tip wear at the end of DAY 4

I didn't see any tip wear until day four. As you can see by the photo, there is some chipped polish on the inside of my middle finger. This actually happened after I jammed my middle finger on a chair earlier that day (actually, my nail peeled a bit as well in that area from how hard it hit, and I had to repair). There is also some wear on my index finger (no jammed finger there). As far as my other nails go, including my right hand, the polish is still on very good with very little tip wear.  

My daily routines include washing dishes, washing my hands regularly, and using household chemicals for cleaning... there's also other chores, of course. I am definitely looking forward to seeing more results as I use up the bottles!
