Jorce Maintaining your manicure properly can help extend its lifespan and keep your nails looking polished for a more extended period. To do this, you need to follow some tips and thus have that much-desired nail for longer, as sometimes we want to keep it for longer days.
What to do while painting your nails?
Start with clean, dry nails. Remove any old polish and gently adjust your nails. Ensure that your nail surface is smooth, and use a base coat to create a smooth canvas for the polish. Cleaning it well will give it a better texture and the nail polish will last longer.
Apply a good-quality base coat before applying the nail polish. A base coat not only helps the polish adhere better but also prevents staining and strengthens the nails. When painting, opt for thin layers of nail polish rather than thick ones. Thin layers dry more quickly and are less likely to chip or peel. Allow each subcaste to dry fully before applying the coming.
Remember that when applying both the base coat and polish, make sure to seal the edges of your nails. This helps prevent water and other elements from getting underneath the polish, which can cause lifting.
After painting, what to do?
Be patient and allow enough time for each layer to dry completely before moving on to the next step. Rushing through the drying process can lead to smudging and a less durable manicure. We often see that people don’t want to wait for the nail to dry and wait as long as necessary without touching any material.
Additionally, finish your manicure with a high-quality top coat. A top coat not only adds shine but also provides an extra layer of protection against chips and scratches. Reapply the top coat every few days to prolong the manicure.
Water can cause polish to lift, so avoid immersing your hands in water immediately after a manicure. If possible, wait a few hours before doing activities that involve water exposure, such as washing dishes or taking a long bath.
During everyday life, what can I do to maintain it?
Cover your nails by wearing gloves when doing ménage chores. Cleaning agents and hot water can weaken the polish and cause it to chip or peel.
Be mindful of how you use your hands, especially in the first few hours after a manicure. Avoid activities that may cause trauma to the nails, such as opening cans or digging into tight spaces.
Keep your cuticles moisturized by applying cuticle oil regularly. Well-moisturized cuticles contribute to the overall health of your nails and can prevent the polish from lifting.
Refrain from using your nails as tools for opening packages, scratching, or performing other tasks. Using your nails as tools can lead to chips and breaks.
Perform regular touch-ups if you notice any chips or wear. Fixing minor issues promptly can help maintain the overall appearance of your manicure.
By incorporating these tips into your nail care routine, you can extend the life of your manicure and enjoy beautifully polished nails for a more extended period.
