Get That Longer and Stronger Looking Nails with SNS Nails
Nothing makes a woman feel good and sophisticated than having a freshly manicured and pedicured nails. It gives a woman a pulled-together head-to-toe feeling. Aside from their hair, a woman’s beautifully painted nails is also their crowning glory but did you know that its only takes one chipped paint job to ruin that feeling especially if they do most of the things around the house. Here are some tips to make your coloured nails go the extra mile:
- Buy Your Own Polish
We all know that if you are getting your nails done at the salon, you will be overwhelmed with the gargantuan rainbow polish options. But the problem with that is you have no idea how long that bottle has been in their collection unlike if it’s your own. It is a fact that as nail polishes ages, it will no longer apply as smoothly as a new one and it chips easily. Some salon goes to extent of adding a few drops of acetone or another thinning agent to extend the amount of pigment and get more use out of them. But that technique is the reason why most nails chipped off easily. So coming armed with your own nail color is always a good idea. Plus, if you get a nick, you can easily fix it at home. You can order ahead of time from nail supply online so you can bring your own when you visit the salon.
- Don’t Go for the Past-drying Formula
When it comes to a long-lasting manicure and pedicure, patience is a virtue. Polishes labelled as fast-drying may sound tempting but they often dry before fully adhering to nails, and that can cause them to chip more easily. If you don’t have 20 minutes to spare for downtime, you can try dipping freshly-painted nails in a bowl of ice water for 3 to 5 minutes. The cold shock should help the colour set faster. You can also use SNS dipping powder to solve these problems.
- Top off Your Topcoat
Top coats are created and applied on nails for a reason. It creates a protective barrier to help seal in the nail colour. However, they can chip too and leave the DND gel polish underneath exposed. For best protection you can use top clear coats from DTK nails and other Professional Nail Supplies to keep your nails at its beautiful best. For extra protection, coat along the edge of nails, as this is where chips usually happen.
- Keep Yourself Hydrated
To keep your nails looking their best, massage your hand and feet in a little oil daily. Well-hydrated cuticle oil keeps both the skin around the nails and the nails themselves hydrated and healthy. Water can do miracles in our body and your nails also benefits from it so make it a point that you hydrate often for healthy body and nails too.
