Nail polish tricks you should know
1. How to accurately apply nail polish
If your biggest problem is constantly applying nail polish to the circumference of your nails, there is an easy trick to fix that. Before painting your nails, apply petroleum jelly to the skin around your nails. Then paint it, wait for it to dry, and wipe the skin or wash your hands. The Vaseline nail polish will wash off and you’ll leave finely painted nails.
2. How to remove nail polish without nail polish remover
You can remove nail polish from your nails by soaking them in vinegar for 10-15 minutes. You can also use a fresh coat of nail polish and wipe it off before it dries, and you should remove the old nail polish underneath as well. But it’s hard to imagine a situation where you desperately need to remove your nail polish and can’t buy a nail polish remover. As far as you’re concerned – just shake off your old cracked nail polish, and it’s going to be fantastic.
3. How long does nail polish last
If we are talking about nail polish bottles, they can last pretty much forever as long as they are unopened. Once opened, some ingredients evaporate and from this point on, the nail polish is good for two years. So if you have any open nail polishes on your shelf that have been around for years, just throw them away. They have gone bad.
4. How to make nail polish dry faster
There are many quick-drying nail polishes, drying polishes, and sprays on the market, but if you don’t have any, you can try dipping your nails in ice water for two minutes and then letting them air dry for two minutes.
5. How to keep nail polish from chipping
The best way to prevent nail polish from peeling off is to apply a base coat under it and a top coat afterward. It is also important to make sure your nails are completely dry before applying them. Don’t bite your nails and definitely don’t wash dishes without gloves. Protect your nails from harsh chemicals. A helpful trick to keeping your nail polish lasting longer without flaking is to keep applying thin polishes every two days.
6. How to renew nail polish
If your nail polish is dry or lumpy, it may be damaged. You can use nail polish thinner sold at most beauty supply stores to thin out your nail polish. Two or three drops of it should be enough. If you don’t have one but have a nail polish remover or acetone, you can use it in place of nail polish thinner in the same way. Just add a few drops and shake the bottle. But be careful, nail polish remover and acetone will only work for the next few uses of nail polish.
7. How to remove nail polish from carpet
It’s easiest to remove nail polish from the carpet (or clothes) while it’s still wet. Simply wipe off as much of it as possible and then use hairspray or acetone-free nail polish remover to scrub off the rest. Wash with soap and water afterward. If the nail polish stain has already dried, first try to scrape off as much dry nail polish as possible, then wet the stain with warm water and rinse.
