Performance and Longevity
- Wear Time:
- This refers to how long the polish lasts on your nails.
- Factors affecting wear time include the quality of the polish, application technique, and individual nail health.
- Some polishes, like gel formulas, tend to last longer than regular lacquers.
- Proper nail preparation (clean, dry nails) and using a good base coat can enhance wear time.
- Resistance:
- Nail polish should resist chips, scratches, and everyday wear.
- High-quality polishes are more resistant to chipping and peeling.
- Gel polishes generally offer better resistance due to their curing process.
- Top coats can also improve resistance by adding a protective layer.
Removal Process
- Prep Your Nails:
- Trim your nails if needed.
- Buff the top layer of the polish gently to break the seal.
