Always struggling with nail polish that barely stays on your nails for a day? We compiled a list with some tips to make your nail polish last a little longer.
– Polish remover is your best friend
Polish remover can be used for reasons other than removing nail polish. Think about it, everyday our hands are covered with natural oils which make it difficult for nail polish to set on your nails completely.
The best thing to do is to go over your nails with some nail polish remover before applying any nail polish. By cleaning your nails thoroughly, the nail polish may just stick a bit longer.
– Use a base coat first
Your polish will actually stick better to your nails if you prep them with a base coat first. Apply nail polish after the base coat has dried and enjoy longer-lasting results.
– Thick coats aren’t always better
Instead of two really thick coats, do four very thin ones instead. This will help you cut down on drying time, and get rid of the bubble issue so many women experience.
– Shimmering colours last longer
Everyone knows how hard it is to remove glittery nail polish from your nails. The glitter and shimmer usually stick to your nails a bit more than regular colours.
– Start applying a top coat
Interestingly enough, a top coat to your nail polish dries quickly. Apply two very thin coats and you will find yourself not doing so many touch ups in the passing days.
