Summer is a time when our nails are particularly exposed to high temperatures. There’s nothing more frustrating than beautifully painted nails that lose their shine after just a few days due to chipping. How to prevent this? In this article, we’ll advise on which polishes to choose for the heat and how to ensure a long-lasting manicure on hot days.
Choosing the right polish – what should you know?
When selecting polishes for the heat, it’s worth paying attention to their composition. Gel and hybrid polishes are among the best solutions if you care about durability. They tend to adhere better to the nail plate, reducing the risk of chipping. Additionally, their high scratch resistance makes them an ideal choice for summer. It’s worth considering products from reputable brands that offer a wide range of colors and high quality. Mention should be made of polishes with UV filters, which protect the color from fading in the sun.
How to prepare nails for painting?
Preparing nails is key to a long-lasting manicure. First and foremost, the nail plate should be thoroughly cleaned of any impurities and remnants of previous polish. Pushing back cuticles and shaping the nails is also important. Don’t forget about the base coat – it creates a protective layer that increases the polish’s adhesion to the nail. Investing in strengthening bases is worthwhile, as they not only extend the manicure’s durability but also care for nail health.
Painting technique – why is it important?
Not only the choice of polish matters, but also the technique of its application. When painting nails, it’s advisable to apply thin layers of polish, which dry faster and adhere better to the plate. Applying polish in several thin layers gives a better effect than one thick layer, which can easily chip. After applying the color, don’t forget about the top coat – it provides additional shine and protection against damage.
How to make the polish last longer?
Besides proper nail preparation and painting technique, it’s worth remembering a few simple rules that will help extend the durability of our manicure. Avoid prolonged soaking of hands in water, especially hot, and try to limit contact with detergents without protective gloves. Regular use of cuticle oil and moisturizing creams will also positively affect the polish’s durability.
