Durable nail polish?




Sveta


What is the most durable nail polish you've used? Can you tell me the brand and how long it lasts (approximately)? I can't seem to find any that lasts :(


Answer
To help nail polish last longer, always use a good quality basecoat, and a topcoat too. The basecoat will provide a sticky surface for the polish to adhere to, and the topcoat will help the polish last longer by sealing it, and protecting it as well. Also, before applying any polish, make sure your nails are squeaky clean. Wash them well with soap and water but be sure they aren't wet when applyinh the polish. Allow at least a half hour for them to dry. And use some acetone, or 99% rubbing alcohol on a cotton pad to scrub your nails. This will help to remove any oils on your nails, so the polish will last longer.

How do you make nail polish?

INGREDIENTS:


-PRIMARY FILM FORMER-like nitrocellulose


-SECONDARY FILM-FORMING RESIN-like formaldehyde


-PLASTICIZERS-like dioctyl phthalate


-SOLVENTS AND DILUENTS- like acetates or alcohols


-COLORANTS- like organic D&C pigments

. So yes it is hard but... if u want to mixx colours then

Recently, many crafting companies for children and adults provide kits that enable you to mix and match your own creations. Online you can find a variety of companies who will specially mix colors and types of polish for you based on your looks and your personality, as well as health concerns. This option attracts many women and the prices are reasonable.


Using colors that you already have in reserve and mixing them with a more neutral base, such as a shimmer or metallic pearl, creates a new shade for your enjoyment. Many glitter shades are available now in stores, as well as lighter, more natural shades. Mixing these with a vibrant color can create many different options for your polish. Use the basic color wheel properties to guide you in your choices. Always test the polish first on one nail to see its durability and the drying color.
