Errors that cause nail polish to last less
How to make nail polish last longer? Some of these practices can cause the enamel to not be able to adhere properly, and can even cause damage to the surface of the nails damaging its useful life and aesthetic appearance. Pay attention to these mistakes you might be making without knowing it.
Sand the surface of the nails
Sanding the surface of the nails can be a serious mistake that is made, especially when performing the homemade manicure. This removes the natural protective layers of the nail and facilitates the chipping or descame of the nails, lifting the enamel and spoiling the work.
Apply baseless enamel
Putting the enamel directly without foundation can be a big mistake. This will weaken the nail, as the base is not serving as protection. In addition, the base helps to fix the color of the enamel. Without it, the pigment begins to fade much faster.
Poor quality enamel
Using very thick enamels or applying very thick layers can cause some parts of shelling quickly. Old enamels are usually less light and have lumps. This favors that the enamel is lifted, so you should always try that the enamel is new, and of slight consistency.
Shake your hands to dry the enamel
Moving your hands a lot waiting for the paint to dry can be a very bad idea, even painting them in a very windy place, where the balls that shave the enamel and give it less durability are usually presented. Any kind of imperfection on the surface of the enamel is a potential problem, so try to wait for the enamel to dry before moving your hands, since the air, even when we blow with our mouth, can leave residues on the paint and these then more easily peel the enamel.
Apply enamel in hot places
Painting your nails in very hot places is not advisable. In addition, the same heat from the hands can cause balls to arise in the enamel. Then, trying to let this task be done in a room with less hot temperature, even with a cooler environment usually gives better results.
Apply a lot of enamel to the tip of the nail
Concentrating on applying more enamel to the tip of the nail is usually a very common practice, but the least advisable. This is the region that is most likely to peel, following the advice above, the thick enamels will peel faster, if they were accumulated at the tip of the nail, then, the chance of peeling faster is much greater.
Apply a lot of
Do not exaggerate in the amount of paint you apply on the basis of the nail or in the number of layers, the ideal is that you use an enamel that when applied can be distributed without lumps.
