Why You Shouldn't Shake Your Nail Polish Bottle: Avoid These Mistakes to Get a Home Manicure That's Just as Good as a Salon Manicure

Not all representatives of the fair sex visit nail salons - some ladies prefer to take care of the beauty of their nails themselves.
And that's great, the main thing is to be aware of some common mistakes that are often made when caring for your nails at home.
Do not shake the bottle of varnish
Due to shaking, tiny air bubbles are formed in the varnish. As a result, the coating is uneven.
Instead of shaking the bottle up and down, try gently rolling it between your palms.
As a result, the varnish will warm up from the heat of your hands and will acquire a better consistency without air bubbles in the composition. The result of such a manicure promises to be ideal.
Do not apply a thick layer of varnish
3-4 thin layers of nail polish are much better than 2 thick ones.
Want to know why? The explanation is quite simple: thin layers take less time to dry. This means you won’t have to worry about bubbles forming on your nail plate.
On the contrary, if the varnish is applied in a thick layer, it will take a long time to dry – such a manicure cannot be called high-quality.
And another advantage of thin layers: it will be much easier for you to notice and correct possible mistakes.
Do not dry your nails in cold water.
In order to dry, or rather harden, varnish needs to come into contact with air, not water.
So if you want the finish to last, don't follow the advice of dipping your fingers in cold water - keep your hands exposed to air instead.
You are only allowed to wash your hands a few hours after your manicure, and you should use cold water for this.
