With all the amazing nail art and
magnificent manicures to choose from today, there is nothing worse than having
your nails perfectly manicured to only have them smudged, chipped and peeled
after a couple of days! Follow these key steps and avoid any manicure mishaps
and make sure you get the most out of your manicure!!!
Wear a Base Coat - This acts as a primer to allow the polish to
adhere more easily. Plus it helps prevent some colours from staining your
nails.
Wear a Top Coat - It seals in your manicure absorbs shock impact & provides an extra
layer to protect the colour from changing, chipping & becoming dull. Later in the week, reapply it to make the colour
pop again and seal in the polish for a couple more days.
Wrap polish onto
nails - When applying polish, sweep a bit
across the edge and under the nail tip. This "wraps" the end,
minimizing chipping.
Sport Shorter Nails - When you have long nails, they hit everything
before the pads of your fingers. Shorter nails don’t do that as often. Longer
nails suffer more wear & tear.
Buff Your Nails - When you have a smooth, ridge-free surface to work with, your nail
polish applies more smoothly & adheres to your nails better. This improves
your chances for a longer-lasting manicure.
Always Remove Old Polish Before Adding New Polish - Old polish has a higher chance of chipping. Putting more polish on top of old polish just makes it a thick, ugly mess that won’t last.
Protect hands
from water - Immersing your
hands in water for too long can cause polish to lift off the nail, shortening
the life of your manicure. Use rubber gloves when you're washing dishes, and
keep showers to a quick 10-15 minutes.
