I don’t know the proper way to apply nail polish let alone make it last longer than a day (in my case) << they literally start chipping within a couple of days >>
Here’s a cool trick from Tiffany.
All you need are the following:
I’m totally kidding!!! and if you watched the video before reading the whole post, you would know~
- I don’t know how to shape my nails with a nail file
- I don’t know how to push my cuticle back (it hurts!)
All I know how to do is cut my nail close enough so it’s not bleeding. So a manicure set like that is quite intimidating!
I love that Tiffany shows one simple step to making nail polish last and all you need is:
I got mine at Duane Reade for 99 cents.
No top coat, base coat, UV coat necessary. Just a few swipes of nail polish.
Do you have any nail polish tips for this noob?




Uhm, I tried this tip last week, and it TOTALLY works! My home manicures rarely go more than 2 days before the dreaded chips start showing up. Mine lasted 5 days before I saw any chips!
I’m also a germ-o-phob so I’m constantly washing, purell-ing my hands. But buffering helps lasts through all that! I’m glad it helped~~
