Nail salons won’t tell you this. What you should know before applying your nail polish (Page 2 ) | June 18, 2025

Select and apply nail polish

Choose a color that suits your skin tone and the occasion—neutral colors for everyday wear, bold tones for special occasions. Consider the finish (glossy, matte, shimmer), drying time, and chemical safety of the formula. Apply thin coats and allow each coat to dry completely. A final top coat seals in the color and adds shine. Don’t forget to seal the free edge to prevent chipping.

Tips for drying and longevity

Speed ​​up drying with a quick-drying top coat or soak your nails in cold water. Avoid heat, as this can cause blistering. For long-lasting wear, reapply the top coat every few days, wear gloves when doing housework, and moisturize your nails regularly.

Remove nail polish safely

Use an acetone-free nail polish remover and avoid harsh scrubbing. Press a soaked pad onto the nail for a few seconds, then gently wipe it off. Follow with cuticle oil or hand cream to restore moisture.

Potential risks you should be aware of

1. Exposure to harmful chemicals
2. Weakening of the nails due to overuse
3. Staining without primer
4. Infections due to improper care
5. Environmental damage caused by non-biodegradable ingredients
