I have been painting my nails with rimmel 60 seconds funtime fuscia recently and they seem to flake off very quickly in this line of work I wondered if anyone could recommend a decent top coat or heavier duty nail varnish?

 

I'm sworn to th BK range of varnishes which come in range of fluorescent luminous colours, creating a useful hi-viz effect that lets you know where the ends of your arms are at all times. Saved many a finger, it has.

I've just checked with my Mrs. (a long established gardener) and she recons that theres nothing worth using. Gloves ??????

 

Sorry I can't be more helpful, trying to avoid any attempt at humerous/sarcastic suggestions - for once.

I suggest using hot wax to mask off your fingers and then plating your nails with a flash of electress nickel, followed by electroplating with hard chrome. Shiny and very durable.

 

Small issue with the highly toxic plating salts, but what price art?
