Who has never been disappointed by having their nails done one day and the next the nail polish is all peeled off? So as not to get frustrated with it any longer, beauty professionals Ester Chavier, Esteli Pereira and Débora Alcantara give 5 precious tips to make your nail polish last longer.
1. Pre-enamel care
In order for the enamel coverage to be uniform, it is important to file the tips of the nails with conventional sandpaper, and over them with softer and smoother sandpaper. Thus, you eliminate possible imperfections.
Using moisturizers is also very important, as keep health nails and prevents them from falling or chipping. This way, you will preserve the enamel for a longer time. But it’s important to wash off excess cream and dry your nails well before starting to apply nail polish.
2. Base is essential for nail protection
Using the base before applying the enamel is essential for nail protection. Apply the glaze directly on the nails it can make them yellow and weakened.
3. How to choose the right nail polish?
When choosing which nail polish to apply, it is not enough to look at the color. It is necessary to pay attention to the expiration date, because if it is expired it can be harmful to health. Also, when he stays still for a long time, he can get thicker and thus get out of the nails more easily.
There are even some solutions to make the nail polish thinner again, but they change the characteristics of the product. The ideal is to buy a new. The layers of enamel must be very thin so that they do not peel off easily.
4. How to eliminate polka dots
Polka dots on nail polishes are the result of hot hands. Upon noticing excessive heat in the palm of the client’s hand, we suggest that she hold some pebbles or ice sheets until the end of the enamelling process. They can also appear if the enamel is old and thick, in which case, the ideal is to opt for another enamel.
5. How to ensure the durability of nail polish
To ensure greater durability, it is interesting to use an extra shine over the enamel. It helps in fixing the product and enhances the color. In addition, it can be re-applied after 3 days to restore shine and hold the nail polish longer.
Carrying an extra shine in your bag is a good option to fix the tips that chip. A small dab can hold the polish on your nails for approximately 2 days longer. After applying the nail polish, you can drip a drop of drying oil, which helps to hydrate the cuticles and prevents dust or lint from spoiling the nail polish while it is still wet.
