Tricks to make your nail polish last longer

So, the first thing you need to know and always do, is to wash your hands with warm water and soapbefore you apply the nail polish. Furthermore, don’t use any hand cream, oils, etc.  3 hours before you do your nails. The explanation is easy, when your nails have even the smallest amount of fat on them, the nail polish won’t stick and after 2-3 days, it will start peeling off, etc.

For the second trick, you need half a lemon or some lemon juice. Again, before you apply the nail polish, rub the lemon or soak the nail in some of its juice. Wait for it to dry and apply the polish. Make sure not to get your nails in contact with your skin, in between.

After you have eliminated the fats from your finger and you’re ready to apply the polish, you should know how to apply like a Pro. The nail polish should be applied with 3 moves. A line on the middle of the nail, on the left side and one on the right. Never reapply over, smudging it.  The second layer of polish should be applied only after you’re finished with all the fingers. This ensures that the first one gets a bit dry. If you do this, the polish will last longer and it will dry faster. Also, you should not speed up the drying process.

Don’t worry if you got some nail polish on your skin too. Leave it to dry. After that, you can just wash your hands with warm water. This will remove the excess and your manicure will look incredible.  Now you can even use some hand cream!
