SOAK YOUR NAILS IN WATER ONLY

You may be familiar with this practice already, but I sure wasn’t! I was a big fan of soaking my hands in a mix of water, soap and baking soda up until a little while ago. Some of you may already be turning up their noses, but it’s the truth!

Thankfully, I have learned that there is a much more efficient and less wasteful way to soften my cuticles; and that’s soaking my hands in nothing but warm water. This is more than enough to prepare my cuticles, and won’t add any excess oils on my skin or nails.

It won’t have you waste any additional proucts, either!

 

 

REMOVE OILS BEFORE APPLYING NAIL POLISH

I used to overlook this step a lot before, but not anymore; if you want to achieve a perfect, long lasting manicure, you definitely don’t want to skip it!

Removing the oils from your nails will make the polish adhere better to the surface, not compromising its formula and, thus, making it last longer. You can easily do this using your remover; just make sure to leave it to dry for a couple of minutes before applying nail polish!

USE THIN LAYERS

As silly and basic as it may sound, using thin layers is one of the best practices to apply when it comes to nail polish.

They will dry down much faster, which is always nice, and will dry down evenly as well. This is especially great when it comes to preventing excessive texture on the nail, which will only result in bumps; thicker layers not only get ruined in a matter of seconds, but take a lifetime to dry down completely, also.

Lastly, thin layers are much more efficient when it comes to building up your desired color intensity. Moral of the story: use thin layers, and you’ll thank yourself!

 

 

RE-APPLY TOP COAT EVERY OTHER DAY

Lastly, I leave you with my favorite unconventional tip to use when it comes to having a long lasting manicure.

Re-applying your top coat every other day may sound weird, but it’s actually pretty clever! It will strengthen your nails furtherly, even without doing a complete, thorough manicure; moreover, it will have your nails looking nice and perfect everyday!

It’s the real secret to a perfectly long lasting manicure, and you’ll quickly become addicted to doing it!
