Sometimes, all you need to do to get a nice manicure is paint your nails a pretty color. You don't need a stunning design on your nails to catch people's attention. Can you tell that those nail polish colors are too pretty to wear off quickly? So, in today's article, I'll show you 4 ways to keep your new nail polish from peeling and chipping. If you've ever spent a lot of time getting a manicure just right, only to have it chip in a few hours, keep reading.

Avoid these actions to keep your nail polish smooth

To make your nail polish smooth and, of course, be far away from cracking, please DO NOT

• Shake your nail polish bottles: Simply roll your nail polish bottle between the palms of your hands instead of shaking it. If you shake the bottle, you are more likely to get air bubbles on application.

• Take a shower straight after you have painted your nails: Your nail beds expand in the hot water, making the nail polish move with it. This causes cracks and can make your polish chip when your nail beds return to their normal size. Likewise, do not paint your nails straight after a shower.

• Continuously apply thick layers of nail polish on your nails: If you apply your nail varnish in thick layers, it won’t dry on to the nail properly. On the opposite side, the thinner the coats, and the longer you let them dry in-between coats, the longer the nail polish will last.

• Wash your hands too harshly: This rough action might hurt your nails and discomfort your manicured nails.

• Direct contact with cleaning chemicals: Chemicals are absolutely not good for your skin and nails. Remember to wear gloves in case you have to do the dish washing.

Always Use The Right Basecoat And Topcoat

• Even though starting and ending a manicure with basecoat and topcoat adds time, they are important steps that shouldn't be skipped. To keep your manicure from chipping or cracking, it's important to use a basecoat and a topcoat. By using a basecoat that sticks well and is strong, you can make your manicure last longer and look better for longer. Basecoat is what helps the other coats stick to your nails, and topcoat keeps everything in place. I think you should reapply your topcoat every two to three days for the best results and to keep your manicure in good shape. You should choose a formula that protects, strengthens, and keeps your nails from chipping. It's a plus if it also keeps your nails moist.

• You can go to some of the best nail salons and ask the nail techs who have worked there for a long time which brands of base coat and top coat they use.

Take Care Of Chips Right Away

• Have you ever looked at a chipped nail, rolled your eyes, got mad, and then forgot about it? Yes, so am I. But fixing chips as soon as they happen will help your manicure last longer in a few ways, and the sooner you fix your nails so they look good again, the better. If you let the chip sit, you might end up peeling and picking your nails to death. Also, if you fix the chip, it won't spread and get worse on its own.

• If you don't know how to fix the chip right, it might not be a bad idea to make an appointment at a professional nail salon near you.

Leave Your Nails To The Nail Expert

• People say that nail designs are more than just a fashion statement; they are also works of art. So, leave nail art to someone who has been trained to do it. I know that getting your nails done at a salon isn't cheap, but the good results that everyone gets after a salon manicure make it worth it. Visit one of the best nail salons in your city if you want your manicure to last longer and your nail polish to stop coming off so quickly. Make sure you have a good routine for getting your nails done so they always look good.
