How to Make Your Manicure Last Longer

If you want to make your manicure last longer, there are many tricks you can use! 

First of all, make sure your nails are clean! Give them a good wipe down with some nail polish remover to be sure that there is nothing residual on your nails. 

If your nails weren’t recently done, vinegar can be a good option to use to clean your nails before a manicure to help it last longer.  It also helps to keep your fingernails short because it will decrease instances of chipping.

Once you begin to paint, make sure you’ve got a good and strong quality base coat. Also, try not to use too many coats and seal it by painting a line at the tip of the nail before you finish. Three coats is ideal if you can get away with it!

Next, don’t forget a top coat! The top coat should be reapplied every few days as needed for the best look possible!

Once you’re all done applying your polish, don’t forget to use cuticle oil on your cuticles. Use this daily for the best look for your hands.  

Following these tips will guarantee a longer-lasting look!
