Girl, you be Chippin'!

So, here is the first time I've worn my Dorothy Who, which I thought was going to be like a blue version of Ruby Slippers, not so it turns out!
Say what?! Look at those chips! Yikes, this is after a mere 13-15 hours of wear time and 7 of those hours were spent sleeping! I must say I have to blame it on my base coat of choice this time around, I think...Seche Clear. I was just trying to use up my bottle so I don't have it anymore and can franken with the bottle but I'm pretty sure that's why this chipped so fast!

I must say though, that I do love this color and hope that it lasts longer with another base/top coat combo.

Upon closer inspection of my skin I think I need to go back to SPF 50+ 'cause I am not supposed to be this 'tan' and my face is starting to show all the sun damage! =P

  1. Great mani but sucks for the chipping. I hope you find a basecoat that will hold onto your lacquer longer.

  3. Bad, bad, naughty Dorothy.
    Dammit, that's why my hands look so grubby - not using enough SPF.

  4. @Lacquerware- pretty much any base coat works better! haha
    @ABOP- chipmania, sounds like a festival for chipmunk lovers. =)
    @Jaljen- Really, I see the biggest difference on my face and chest but my hands don't look as youthful as once they did...sigh

  5. When I saw the title yesterday--- I started laughing! =P I'm in dire need of base coat too--- I tried to dig out the last of my old bottle--- but I think it's reached the goopy stage where it does more harm than good!

    For some reason, I can't comment on this type of embedded type of comment box when I'm at home--- maybe it's something to do with firefox?

  6. @Dovey- yeah, I have some other base coats that are amazing, I just wanted to use this up but I am disgusted with it's poor performance!
    I use FireFox all the time, and then other (not all the time) I use Safari, I have no idea what the problem could be! Sorry
