I work with water a lot, have to say that regular nail varnish just does not last.
Have tried Gel lac and have to say the black is my favorite, I'm not very good at applying any type of nail varnish, but this was quite easy, didn't leave streaks and I did not have to worry about the varnish on my cuticles, just waited until it dried and it came off with a couple of washes and hand lotion this was always my problem with applying gel as soon as it got on the skin and dried it lifted.
Gel lac lasted just over a week, I'm stoked.
