Your nail polish only lasts for two days? What mistakes you shouldn't make with your manicure from now on if you want the polish to last longer.
You know that: You invest a lot of time in your manicure, you let the nail polish dry really long and properly so that it does not smear or splinter within a very short time … And still: The polish is off after two days at the latest. In every sense.
It doesn't have to be your paintwork. You may be making a small but crucial mistake with your manicure that most of us make.
Because normally we first soften our nails in a bowl of warm water before we start with the manicure. After all, the nails can then be cut more easily and the cuticles pushed back better.
However, your nails absorb the water in the process - and swell up a little as a result. In fact, it takes hours for them to really dry out and shrink back to their normal size. In a word: you apply the varnish … the nails contract again, the varnish cannot shrink and splinter.
In a word, the next time you go to a manicure or do your own nail care, don't get water on your nails. Or wait three hours before applying the nail polish.
