NAIL TIPS

Are you tired of how fast your nail polish dries up? You might still want to keep those nail polish rather than throwing it away. To preserve your polish both in the bottle and on your nails, I recommend always following the 5 Do’s and Don’ts of nail polish:

Avoid using nail polish removers:

It contains acetone and it ruins the color of your polish. 

Nail polish thinner is specially formulated to restore your thickened polish back to its original consistency. Use 2-3 drops and roll the bottle between your hands – your polish will be like new.

Simply use thinner drops.

Don’t store polish in the bathroom. Most polishes have a suggested shelf life of two years.  You can extend this or shorten it strictly by how you store your polishes. Bathrooms are not your friends when it comes to storage – they tend to be bright and the temperature is constantly changing due to shower use.Do store in a cool, dark place with a consistent temperature eg Fridge! I know! 

Don’t store your nail polishes sideways. When a bottle lies on its side, lacquer can work its way around the neck of the bottle and lead to the infamous pesky stuck lid.

Always store your nail polish upright like this

Don’t skip the nail prep. The last thing you want is bluish or yellowed tips leftover from your previous manicure when you’re rocking bare nails. The solution…

Do use a base coat:   this will provide a smooth case for your nail color, as well as protect and nourish your nail beds. And don’t forget to finish off with a topcoat to make your polish last!
