We all know that keeping nail polish looking fresh on our nails can be quite a struggle .some people have given up the fight and moved to stick ons,gels or acrylics but if your still staying strong with a classic nail polish here is my top 5 ways to keep it fresh.
1. Check your polish , you need to have a nice light-medium consistency before you even start ...too thick isn't going to help you but neither is too runny so make sure you always check ( this only applies if you are using an old polish ). With a good polish you will only need to apply two Coats ...more than that will give you a nightmare when drying
2.use a base coat ,yes this protects your nails from staining but more importantly it will give you a nice even surface to add to . If you have ridged nails you can get a specific base coat to help correct it
3. Apply an even amount ,i reccomend only 3 strokes per nail but if you are doing more just make sure you don't make it too thick or it will never dry so please don't just slap it on
4.use a top coat , you really need to seal the deal by adding a topcoat ,it will give it a glossy finish and help it to last longer
5. Let it dry , simple I know but you really should be waiting at least 20 minutes before you attempt to move those fingers or toes . The longer you wait to less risk you'll take.If you really can't wait you can quick dry sprays or running your fingers under cold water but trust me giving it time is more effective
