well i did these for the 4th of july. i didnt do anything since hubby was not here but go to a picnic at my paps and go see fireworks with the inlaws. the base of these was the gel polish and i used the gel top coat to cook it so it would stay longer but yeah, it lasted as long as a typical mani does on my nails. i used the gel also because my pointer nail was cracked on the side and i was trying to get it to last and not have to rip it off. yeah, that didnt work.
