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 used to use nail varnish to seal my cuts and esp 'gegg's' used to sting like a b*****d thou but did often seal them up for a while

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?

The problem isn't so much the durability of the finish though, but rather the adhesion to the actual nail.

Try trapping the nails between a couple of large rings of timber. I can confirm that they'll stay a fetching black colour for months, if they don't fall off.
