Our relationship with our nail
polish is like that of a close friend, we expect it to always be there for us
in our time
of need, and rely on it to brighten our spirits. Unfortunately for us most times our nails end
up breaking our hearts by smearing smudging and most times peeling without
notice. Well it’s time for you to say
goodbye to smudged and messy nails as the ten nail polish tricks below would
change your life and nail game forever.
Check them out!
1. Intensify: To brighten any nail polish color, especially neons, paint
one coat of white polish underneath your polish to instantly make the color
pop! On the flip side, paint one coat of
black nail polish to deepen darker colors, like reds and blues.
2. Brush It Off: The easiest way to clean up when you paint outside the
edges (anywhere on your skin) is to use an old concealer brush. Dip your brush in acetone and easily wipe off
any polish on your cuticles.

3. Well-Oiled: Use a Q-tip to trace petroleum jelly along the outside
edges of your nails, then paint away. Your
polish will magically stay within the lines!
4. Protect: To protect your nails from minor scuffs, fuzz, and hair,
apply one drop of cuticle oil directly on each nail after you’re done
polishing.

5. Prolong: Is there anything worse than looking down at your
painstaking manicure and noticing chips a day later? Paint a top coat over your mani every other
day to help extend your wear time, and keep it shiny and fresh!
6. Get Iced: We’ve all been there: you finally finish your nail polish
masterpiece, only to look up at the clock and realize you have to rush out the
door. To help your polish dry more
quickly, dunk your digits into a bowl of ice water. You’re welcome.
7. Glue Removal: Want to rock sparkly nails for your big date, but need
them to be gone in the a.m.? Try this trick: use a clean nail polish brush to
paint a layer of paper glue over each nail as a makeshift base coat, paint your
glittery polish on top, then finish with a top coat. When it comes to time for removal, just peel
them off, yes, really. No cotton balls,
aluminum foil, or excessive amount of waiting time required.
8. Sticky Polish: If your polishes tend to get sticky and clumpy, there are
two culprits to blame: oxygen and heat. Leave your polish bottles closed and
out of the sun as much as possible. The
more that wet polish are exposed to oxygen and sun, the worse the consistency
and efficacy. Store your most prized polishes in the fridge.
9. Unstick: If your polish lids tend to get stuck, clean the rim of
your polish bottle with a paper towel and acetone remover after you use it. It’ll not only keep the lid from sticking, but
keep your polish fresher and longer.

10. Even It Out: White and cream nail polishes are stunning, but the
formulas can often be watery and streak-y. Use a ridge-filling base coat to help the
color go on streak-free.
