Hey Everyone! Life got busy for a hot second!
This Post is slightly off my beauty path. I have a few Good friends who are nail technicians. They fill me in on some tips and tricks for nails and polish. Let me first start off by saying this: When you are polishing your nails at home, you should be applying 4 total coats of polish. 1st coat is your Base Coat. This is usually a clear nail polish, but some have a slight tint to them. Your 2nd and 3rd coats of polish are your Color Coats. Your 4th and final coat of polish is your Top Coat, which is clear like your base coat. My favorite top coat is Sally Hansens Xtreme Wear. Now My Tip today for keeping your pretty digits chip free for longer is to do a Light Buff on your nail plate with a high number grit nail file/buffer before your 1st coat ( clear coat ) is applied. If your have a 3way or 4way buffer, you can use it. Just don't use the finest grit. Your nail plate needs to be SLIGHTLY Rough. This technique allows for the base coat to "grab" onto your nail plate, making for a better adhesion. In turn, when you apply your next coat of polish ( which will be your first color coat ) it will hold and grab onto your first coat of polish. Always remember when looking at nail files: The Higher the grit ( the Number ) the finer, gentler, and less aggressive the file. The Lower the grit the more coarse it will be, and the more layers you will remove. Enjoy!
