How to Make Your Nail Polish Last Longer

Tired of chips and peeling after just a few days? Our nail technicians share their top tips for extending the life of your manicure.

Getting a beautiful manicure only to see it chip days later is frustrating. Here are expert tips to make your polish last: Always start with clean, dry nails — oils and moisture prevent adhesion. Apply a quality base coat before your color.

Use thin, even coats of polish rather than thick layers. Seal the tips of your nails with each coat. Finish with a high-quality top coat and reapply every 2-3 days.

Wear gloves when doing housework or dishes. Avoid hot water immediately after your manicure. Following these steps can extend your polish life by up to a week.
