1. Painting your nails when they are dirty
Make sure that the nail surface is super-clean. Any trace of, moisture, dust or leftover polish will keep the new nail polish from sticking.
2. Not prepping the surface
Before you paint, you should swipe clean nails with a cotton ball soaked in nail polish remover. It ensures there are no dirt that can make the polish easily peel off.
3. Skipping a basecoat
It important to ap0ply a bottom layer. This gives the polish something to hold onto. A base coat is soft and sticky, hence can expand and contract with your nails without peeling off.
4. Not sealing with a topcoat
Once your manicure is on, seal it with a slow-setting topcoat. Quick-dry kinds are tempting to use, but what you gain in speed, you lose in protection. A slower-acting topcoat leaves a harder and more protective finish.
5. Forgoing maintenance
How do we buy a car without maintaining it? Bring that sense to the nail polish. If you do utensils, scrubbing sufurias and stuff, then you ought to maintain your nails. To keep your nails hydrated, apply oil to nails and cuticles and slather on some hand cream every other day.
