Products used: Avon Nail Experts Advanced Mira- Cuticle Vanishing Complex & Avon Nail Experts Revitacool Base Coat – No Longer Available Avon Speed Dry+ 30 polish in Pronto Purple 4.90€ Erre Due Ceramic Top Coat 6.50€ First Impressions: Taking a little break from holiday colors, with a bit of a summery purple in the middle of winter. I am a big fan of the Avon Speed Dry+ 30 range, mainly cause of its fab colors and the fact that it delivers on what it promises: dry nails in 30”.
