Hi everyone!! I am trying to maintain my natural nails, and am looking for some help finding a routine and specific products am not sure where to start. I am looking for a neutral sheer/jelly like this https://www.reddit.com/r/Nails/comments/l5sk69/sheer_gel_nail_polish_recs/ and am having had a hard time finding it in non-gel products. My skin tone is a bit darker with more olive, and my hands look awful with too light or too cool of shades.
I've tried essie hard to resist (probably the closest to what I want, but a bit too pink and took a lot of maintenance), londontown perfecting nail veil (streaky, not user friendly), and now opi nail envy bubble bath (streaky, shade way too light, not sheer enough).
I've also heard to use a base coat strengthener like nailtiques or olive and june, regular polish, then top coat instead of just a strengthener polish? Sorry for the long post, I am just so lost!
