Yes, in the details, or, in other words, in the little tricks that can be adopted when polishing your nails. We have selected tips from experts on the fancy nails so that you keep your nail polish until you get tired of it without signs of wear.
- Wash your hands before starting the “manicure ritual”, making sure that the nails are free of product residues, allowing better adherence of the nail polish;
- Avoid filing the nail surface, which can weaken them, facilitate breakage or peeling, resulting in less nail polish permanence;
- If the idea is long lasting, carefully select the nail polish. Choose one that provides high coverage and gel, which has been proven to last longer;
- Test the condition of the enamel before using it, checking if it is excessively pasty and dense. The thinner and more fluid, the more durability;
- After choosing the enamel, apply a strengthening base before starting to enamel;
- Use the toe separators for nail polish to make the process faster and easier.
- Try to apply only one, at most, two layers of enamel on each nail, reducing the chances of flaking;
- Take care not to accumulate nail polish on the tips of the nails or on the sides because this accumulation makes the surface more prone to peeling;
- If possible, pass the toothpick with cotton and nail remover on top of the nails, reducing the chances of the tips flaking off;
- Avoid waving your hands or leaving them in the wind to dry faster. This can form mini-balls or cracks in the enamel;
- Apply a top coat over the nails and reapply after three days to further protect the nail polish.
