Typically a professional manicure will last longer than a manicure you do for yourself, but do you know what that is? There are ways to make your manicure last longer whether you go to a professional for it or you do it yourself. Let’s look at a few of the ways you can make your next manicure last a bit longer.
One way to make sure your next manicure lasts a good long time is by having clean nails to start with. It is true that when you start with a clean slate, even with such things as hair color, you are always going to get a better result than if you start with a slate that is not clean. Be sure to clean any old polish off of your nails before starting the manicure process. Also you are going to want to wash your hands and buff your nails as well. You may want to wipe the nail polish remover all over your hands to get them as clean as you possibly can because oil on your hands can make it harder for new nail polish to adhere and stay put for a long time.
Another tip for keeping your manicure around for a long time is to use a nail polish that is not thick and creamy. Sometimes when nail polish becomes old, it will get to where it will not go on as smoothly as it once did. If you notice that your nail polish is thick and has lumps in it, it is best to throw it out. You can try to put a tiny bit of nail polish remover in it to thin it out a bit, and this will sometimes work. If using the polish remover as a thinner does not work however, you may have to throw it out. Don’t worry if it is your all time favorite color, you will probably be able to find that same color somewhere.
Yet another way of making your manicure last longer is to use light colored polish. We all know that red nails are fun, but they tend to show every little chip in a big way. If you can find a light color alternative that you like, you should use it so that your manicure will last a few more days.
Also using a topcoat will help to make your manicure last longer. Apply a generous layer of top coat onto your favorite nail color and your manicure will last at least a few more days that it would without it.
If you want to give one of the new gel nail colors a try, they are suppose to last for a period of two weeks without any needed touchups!
