No matter the occasion, a girl can't go wrong with a fresh, glossy manicure and pedicure. For years, I got my nails done on a weekly basis at a salon that refused to accept plurals.
More Than One Nail = NailS

Ha ha ha!
Although my nail technician was amazing, my obsession with maintaining immaculate french tipped digits wreaked havoc on our budget. When I decided to ditch my corporate desk jockey job to pursue my medical field dreams, my weekly habit came to a screeching halt. My new career came with a pay cut, as well as rules against talon painting.
I now buff, file, and polish my own nails at the Kate Gene Salon a.k.a. our home. When I am in the clinic, I usually opt for natural nails, but occasionally go wild with a neutral pink polish. On my own time, I tend to stick with vampy hues.

Essie's Good to Go! Top Coat delivers a shine that I consider to be comparable to the highly sought after Seche Vite.
[Even the dreary December weather can't diminish this glass-like shine!]
PROS: Dries pretty quickly. Extremely glossy. When paired with O.P.I. polish, my manicure lasted nearly a week before chipping.
CONS: Retails for $9.90. However, if you do a little research, you can find coupon codes for Apothica.com, which is where I got my bottle from.
I am very pleased with my new top coat thus far.

I have been looking for a good top coat since my beloved Seche Vite is hazardous to my health! Is the 'Good To Go' a top coat and a quick dry all in one?
Dye-A-Graham - You can't use S. V. anymore? That sucks! :( Yep, Good to Go! is an all-in-one quick dry/top coat.
It's been a long time since I've used S. V., so I'm not sure how it compares as far as drying time goes. The shine, however, is insane!
Happy New Year! :)
