6 Handy Hints on Making Your Manicure Perfect

Follow our advice when you paint your nails. We promise you’ll love the result.

1. Remember to apply a base coat

A base coat should be used at all times. It is necessary if you want your colored varnish to adhere to your nails better. Your manicure will last a few days longer. More than that, your base coat will protect your nails from the pigment.

2. How to make neon polish brighter

You can make your neon paint pop by applying an opaque nude or white shade as your first layer of varnish. Neon paints are usually sheer and the mentioned shades will make your neons look thicker.

3. No nippers unless have hangnails

Cuticle nippers should be used only when you have a hangnail. Even if you use moisturizers on a regular basis, you might still suffer from hangnails from time to time. Sometimes the only tool that can help you solve the issue is your nippers.

4. Opt for nail polish remover that does not contain acetone

Non-acetone nail polish removers are better than those that contain acetone. Non-acetone formulas do not dry the nail. If your nails are dry and peeling, try a non-acetone polish remover.

5. After painting your nails, hold your hands under cold water

Your manicure will dry much faster if you hold your painted nails under ice cold water for a minute or two.

6. How to thin out thick polish

Thin nail polish can be used to make your thick varnish thinner. Add a few drops of thin nail polish to the polish that is too thick and you’ll instantly change its texture.
