Our nails are very important to our general well-being.  Right girls?  It reflects our personality and it reveals our health too. So you have to see to it that your nails are healthy looking groomed nail.

 Going to a salon is quite expensive to have a manicure and pedicure.   And sometimes you are not satisfied with the result because the nail polish use can easily crack or remove just in a minute.

 So here are some tips I learned on how to make manicure and pedicure last.

  • CLEAN THE SURFACE.

Using Nail Polish Remover clean nails with a cotton swab.  Clean nails allow polish to adhere better and make application more even.

The one usually use in the parlor to remove residue is PURE ACETONE.  But if you see that it makes your nails dry, STOP USING THIS KIND OF ACETONE.  Use a nail remover without hydrators like LANOLIN.

  • PICK THE RIGHT BASE.

  • PICK A SHIMMERY NAIL POLISH.

Shimmery/Pearly Nail Polish last longer compared with matte nail polish because it contains MICA PARTICLES.   Always apply two lights coats of this nail polish for longer lasting result.

  • TOP IT OFF.

As far as I can remember I started using this when I am still working at Watsons Inc., SM Davao City.  I was amazed with this product because even if the price is quite expensive it really gives CUSTOMERS SATISFACTION.

After applying your favorite nail polish, just wait for a minute before applying one coat of INSTA-DRI ANTI-CHIP Top Coat.  And in 30 seconds it will dry quickly.  This will last 10 days and more.

  • OIL DAILY.

This was given to me by a friend and this is very nice after you have your manicure and pedicure done.  Before going to bed I put this on my nails to prevent from breaking and chipping.

    @Papaleng: Actually mas magastos maxado yung sa parlor kasi in my own experience madaling matangal yung mga nail polish nila sa parlor, kaya pabalik2 ako for another manicure and pedicure.

    Women should totally improve their skin and nail care all throughout their lives. It's a must to have manicure and pedicure at the same time each week.

    Applying the base coat and top coat is extremely important to keep nails from chipping off. However, I get lazy sometimes and skip this step haha.

    The top coat can really make the nail polish last and can also give it a good finish.
