How to Make Your Nail Polish Last Longer: 7 Pro Tips You Need to Try
Share
Tired of chipped nails just two days after polishing them? Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! Here are 7 tried-and-tested tips to make your nail polish last longer and keep your manicure looking salon-fresh.
1. Start with Clean, Dry Nails
Wipe your nails with an alcohol swab to remove oil and dirt. Clean nails hold polish better.
2. Use a Quality Base Coat
A good base coat prevents staining and provides a smooth foundation for the color.
3. Apply Thin Layers
Thick coats chip faster. Apply 2–3 thin layers, allowing each one to dry completely.
4. Cap the Free Edge
Swipe the tip of your nail with polish to “seal” it—this reduces chipping.
5. Choose Long-Lasting Formulas
Opt for chip-resistant, gel-effect, or quick-dry nail paints. [Insert product links]
6. Always Use a Top Coat
Top coat = top priority. Reapply every 2–3 days to maintain shine and protection.
7. Avoid Hot Water and Harsh Chemicals
Wear gloves while doing dishes or cleaning. Hot water weakens polish bonds.
