How to Keep Nail Polish From Coming Off
- 1). Put nail polish on clean fingernails. Remove any dirt, oil or leftover polish with polish remover before painting them.
- 2). Apply a clear base coat before putting on any color polish. The base coat will give the nail a smooth and even base to apply the colored polish onto.
- 3). Use quality nail colors and varnishes. Apply two to three coats at most to each nail. If the polish is too thick, it will chip easier. Allow about 15 minutes in between each color layer before applying the next. Get the color all over the nail, from each end and on the tips.
- 4). Use a clear topcoat with nail hardeners in it. It will give the nails shine as well as protect the color from chipping and peeling off, while making the color last longer.
- 5). Wear gloves when doing dishes or immersing your hands in water. Soaps and harsh chemicals will wear away at the polish.
