What’s more irritating than discovering a sheen on your nail polish a few hours after applying it? If the classic lacquers have a very limited duration (between three and six days depending on the brand), there is no shortage of tricks to try to squeeze in a few tens of hours more. And sometimes, they don’t flow naturally! This is particularly the case with this one grandma’s recipe which involves the use of a home product that needs no introduction: White vinegar.
Extend the hold of the nail polish with white vinegar
To maximize the hold of the nail polish, nail professionals traditionally recommend starting with the application of a base, applying the color in two thin coats, then finishing the manicure with a overcoat.
If these steps are essential to hope to keep beautiful nails for several days in a row, the preparation phase should not be neglected either. To do this, manicurists use a Cleaner, a professional product that removes all traces of grease that could prevent the lacquer from adhering well. And this is where white vinegar comes in!
Before taking out your bottle of basedip a cotton ball or washable square in white vinegar and clean your nails. Thanks to its degreasing power, the vinegar will have the same effect as Cleanerand will allow the paint to last longer. Worth a try, right?
