Yesterday I reached another milestone, when everything was done by myself:
- I found and bought both the ridge filling base and no chip top coat
- I tested the ridge filler in the shop on my nails (there were test bottles)
- I found and bought the polish remover and pre-paint cleanser
- I prepared the nails (removed the old product, filed the nails, removed the cuticles and pushed the proximal nail fold, cleaned the surface)
- I put on the ridge filler and the top coat
The idea was to:
- practice!
- test the Anny ridge filler (even one layer helped, let's see how long it will last)
- test the new Essie no chip top coat (they say it's highly resistant to chipping and peeling)
- test if cleaning the nails with alcohol based cleanser is better, than just polish remover
- create the most natural yet well cared look
- protect the nails from splitting, chipping and breaking
And my wife complimented the result! My kids haven't seen the manicure yet, I hope it survives. So far I have to say, that this top coat is less shiny, than Essence Extreme Gel top coat.
And yes, I can play the bass with such nails!

I use the cuticle remover and wooden sticks to soften and scrub the cuticles off. Then I do both "Western" (only pushing the proximal nail fold) and "Russian" (pushing and cutting the dead skin off with "Russian" scissors) manicure. Filing comes next.

Now I don't even understand how I lived with unpolished nails all my life...
