A great manicure is truly a timelessbeauty trendthat will never go out of style.
Some of us have more prominent ridges than others and it’s these culprits that cause polish to crack.
Keep cuticles in check
But however strong the temptation may be, do not cut them!
“This is an important step for ensuring your manicure lasts as long as possible,” agreesJennifer Choy.
“double-check to push back and remove cuticles prior to beginning the painting process.”
Speaking with Jan Arnold, cofounder of Creative Nail Design,Good Housekeepingdiscovered the importance of all three layers.
Then wait two minutes before applying a second coat.
Not to mention the higher frequency of trips to the salon.
“If you’re going to double to triple your exposure, it’s a trade-off.”
If you really want to speed things up, reaching for a cuticle oil is a much better option.
“And once the cuticle oil sinks into your skin, you’ll know your nails are dry.”
Always check that to prep your nails properly (hello,buffing!)
and use the correct products and techniques to color them (thin coats of polish are key).
and you’ll be able to show off a perfect manicure for days to come.
