I really love getting my nails done and giving them new fresh coats of polish! However there's nothing worse than them beginning to chip after only a few days. Here are some ways that helped my manicure last much longer.
1. Use a Base coat, Two coats of Polish and a Top coat.
I know most of you may do this already, but I know some people tend to be lazy when it comes to the base and top coats! Please remember these are the most crucial things to use to maintain your gorgeous nail colour, making it last much longer.
2. Avoid Old, Gloopy Polish
After awhile nail varnish tends to get gloopy once you keep it for too long. Its also important to store your collection in a cool, dry place. For example I keep mine in one of my drawers. This prevents your nail polishes to become really dry as heat can cause it be very unevenly on your nails.
3. Protect Your Nails
When washing dishes it can really damage your nails, so always remember to put gloves on!
4. Always Moisturise
Keeping your hands and cuticles in particular helps your manicure last loner aswell! Just to keep them hydrated and look better. Sally Hansens Cuticle Oil is truly amazing. It's also encouraged my nails to grow aswell. It's by far my favourite product to use on my cuticles.
5. File Nails
Filing nails not only keeps them healthy but it also maintains them in shape, as well as preventing breakage. When filing try and remember to file it in one direction to avoid feathering of the nails. Your nails will appear so much better and last longer than usual.
6. Buff Buff Buff!
Buffing completely transforms the nails. It improves the appearance of your nails instantly. They become much more softer and shinier. I'd really recommend using this.
Thank you for reading, I hope these tips will help you keep your manicure as long as possible x
