O.P.I 'Chip Skip' is my new little savior when it comes to keeping my nail varnish in place for a working week at the office. I received Chip Skip in one of my nail sets for Christmas. I normally always opt for my trusty (would say 'holy grail' but I hate that term) O.P.I 'Nail Envy' but I decided to use Chip Skip instead on a whim. Now, it does state that you are supposed to apply this product before using your base coat/lacquer but the consistency is so thin, that I wanted to try it as a top coat/sheen! You don't need to use a huge amount to get results - it is literally like applying water to your nails.
As you can hopefully see, my nails do have a shine to them! I applied Chip Skip to my nails after two coats of Essie 'To Buy or Not To Buy' - the outcome didn't make my nails look quite as thick/heavily-coated as when I use Nail Envy, however. I found that Chip Skip dried incredibly fast, which is something I always appreciate when I'm trying to do my nails in a hurry on a weekend. Throughout the week, I have also tried giving my nails a top up and they have become noticeably stronger!
This is great! I need some I'm sick of my nail varnish chipping :)

It's really handy! Especially the mini version so you can carry it around with you :) xx
DeleteThat's seems like such a great product, because I always end up chipping my nails REALLY BAD the day after I painted them and it gets me soooo annoyed!
ReplyDeleteYour nail polish colour is so pretty!

DeleteThis seems like a really good product, its so frustrating when you paint your nails and they chip. And I love the essie lilac nail polish the perfect pastel shade. Great blog.

Ahh thank you :) - I can vouch that I applied this nail varnish on Saturday and it still hasn't chipped! xxx
DeleteSounds great! I've received a twin pack of OPIs Nail Envy and RapiDry for christmas and I love Nail Envy but so far I'm not impressed with the top coat as it took ages to dry! So where's the sense in that.. love that Essie colour your wearing! xx
ReplyDeleteI hateee slow-drying nail varnish! If you can get your hands on Chip Skip, try it as a top coat too -- even though it's supposed to be used prior to applying your coat of colour, it's VERY thin, so it dries really quickly! I can only compare it to water, and you don't need to apply too much either to see a difference :) xx
DeleteOoh I like the sound of this!
ReplyDeleteHope you get round to trying it! :) xx
