If you are going to wear any colours like black, green, blue, or any other colours like that then you should wear a clear base coat. That this keeps you nails clean so that the top layer doesn't stain and it is also easier to remove. Hope I helped! x

Does bright nail polish last longer than dark polish?

This is not true, the wear time for nail polish depends on the brand and application. Less product is more- meaning that you should use thin layers and wait til they dry before applying the next coat. Then make sure to use a top coat for a smooth finish and protection layer.- BUT don't forget the base coat before the first layer :) I have had the best results with OPI nail polish, opi.com

What ingredients are in long lasting nail polish?

Formaldehyde and im sure of this because i looked it up so much to make sure so i did not sound stupid, retarded, and anything else i am one of those smart freaks you know... - - - - - You can't be THAT sure...they never used formaldehyde in nail polish. Tosylamide/formaldehyde resin, which has formaldehyde as an ingredient but is very different from formaldehyde when it gets put in nail polish, is a polymer they use to make nail polish harder. They're developing new resins to replace it because no one wants to use a product that says "formaldehyde" on the ingredients list even if it contains no actual formaldehyde.
