I made another order on Transdesign since I loved the product range they offered on their site. In the past few weeks I’ve been going cheap on my top and base coat whenever I apply them because I’m close to finishing both so I finally got to purchasing more. I added a cuticle oil as well since I’m trying to pick up the habit of moisturising my cuticles and hands more often than usual. I wanted to try out different products to compare and see which was best for me.

I got the 7.3ml bottle of Solar oil because it was the cheapest and I didn’t want to spend too much on it. I never know when I’m going to abandon this product just like I did with my poor Burt bees lemon butter cuticle cream. That one's not being used as much as I thought it would so it’s sitting in my container of manicure tools.


Almost everyone has been raving about Seche vite’s fast dry top coat but I refuse to spend money on it until I can get over the smell and hazard warning people keep talking about. I’ve looked at a few top coats but ended with INM’s out the door because I’ve read good reviews about this one. The packaging claims to be America’s #1 fast drying top coat so hopefully it lives up to this statement.
