How to get a manicure that lasts

I am sure this has happened to you before, you spend time painting your nails and then after a couple hours the polish is chipping.

This is frustrating because it takes a lot of time to do a good job painting your nails. But there is hope. Today I have some tips for you to make your polish last, which is not an easy task.
Step 1: You need to make sure you nails are really clean and that there is no left-over polish on the nails before you paint them.

Step 2: File your nails top and bottom so that you have a smooth surface to work with.

Step 3: Many girls just paint on color now. No! Instead you want to put on a base layer, which could be clear. This protects the nail.

Step 4: Now it is time to put on the color. Try to do a few layers to keep the color strong and make it last.

Step 5: Last but not least put on a final layer that is also clear. This gives the nails shine and protects the polish color.

A trick: If you mess up a bit and smudge the color, you can always repair it with a drop of color in the spot that was smudged. Then add another layer of clear and you are all set.
