WHY DOESN'T MY PERMANENT NAIL POLISH LAST?

As you well know, a permanent nail polish manicure is achieved by carrying out several steps , which must be well executed to guarantee a long-lasting and resistant manicure. Do you want to know the trick to make permanent nail polish last longer? The trick is not to skip any of the steps and to be precise when executing them. Even so, we give you seven keys that you can keep in mind and that will make your permanent nail polish nails last longer.

POROSITY IS ESSENTIAL

Making the natural nail surface porous with a polishing block is one of the steps that will best ensure the adhesion of products. While preparing the natural nail before polishing, pay special attention to this step and do not skip it.

ABSOLUTE CLEANLINESS

Wash your hands before applying any product and clean your nails gently with Cleaner and with the help of a Nail Pad and orange stick if necessary. By removing any traces of dust or dirt, you will prevent your permanent nails from coming off prematurely.

ENSURES ADHERENCE

Apply the necessary preparation liquids to ensure adhesion. At Manicura24 we are clear: Nailprep and Ultra-Bond Primer are a must for all permanent nail polish.

AVOID TOUCHING WITH YOUR FINGERS

Prep liquids are designed to slightly dehydrate the nail to remove the grease that forms naturally. The tips of our fingers also contain natural grease, so you should avoid touching the surface of your nails.

GOOD SEALING

Sealing the free edge of your nails by applying the permanent nail polish base and top coat is one of the steps that helps ensure the durability of your permanent manicure.

THIN LAYER ENAMEL

Don't go overboard with the amount of permanent coloured nail polish . It is preferable to apply two thin layers, this way they will dry completely in the lamp. A thick layer of permanent nail polish that has not dried completely will affect the durability of your manicure and will easily peel off.

BE PATIENT WITH DRYING

Rushing is not good for you, and it is not good for your nails either. Be patient and do not remove your hand from the lamp too soon. If you have a UV lamp, the recommended drying time is 2 minutes. If you have an LED lamp, cure each layer for 90 seconds. If you have a UV/LED lamp, 1 minute of drying per layer will be enough. It is also important to take into account the position of your hand inside the lamp to ensure proper drying. In this video we show you how to position your hand correctly.

HOW LONG DOES PERMANENT NAIL POLISH LAST?

You can rock a permanent nail polish manicure for at least two weeks, and we say “at least” because you can probably enjoy it for longer. If a semi-permanent manicure is done right, it won’t come off your nails, so the growth of your natural nails will dictate the timing.

At Manicura24 we want you to enjoy a long-lasting manicure with these tricks to make your nail polish last longer and we remind you of the most important thing: having healthy and strong natural nails, so take care of them carefully if you want a wonderful manicure.
