Hey guys! Has your nail polish ever chipped off a couple days after you've painted them and you're either forced to redo that whole nail or change your whole design? Well, here's some tips to help prevent that!
- Paint Thin Layers: Even if you have to do more layers to get the color you're looking for, it's much better than doing a big, huge glob and denting it since it takes so long to dry.
- Wrap The Nails: Paint them how you usually do, but after take the brush and paint along the bottom edge of the nail. This makes it harder for your nail polish to chip off.
- Always, Always, Always Use a Topcoat!: Okay, it's pretty obvious, but if you're like me and change your nails every week than you don't exactly need a topcoat unless you want it to be shiny:). But if you plan on keeping your manicure on for a while then definitely wear one! You could also put on a topcoat every other day and wrap the nail with it to really make sure it doesn't chip.
- Don't Be Harsh on Them: Again, another obvious one, but you still need to be reminded :). Some chemicals are bad for your nails and hands so try to wear gloves when you're cleaning with products.
- Have Clean Nails Before You Start: Your hands produce a lot of oils so washing them and swiping polish remover over them before you paint helps the polish stick on to your nails more. Also use a base coat before you apply any colored polish.
- Make Sure Their Dry: Sometimes it might take a while to dry and when you think it is you touch it and mess up the whole nail!! So to make sure they do dry you could dip your nails in a glass of ice cold water for a minute or two. Also a thin coat of a fast drying topcoat works great! I've heard that you could spray PAM to instantly dry them, never tried it but if any of you do comment below and tell me how it worked!!
