1. Clean your nails thoroughly

Before applying nail polish, the surface of your nails should be completely clean. Remove any oil, dust, and cream residue from your nails with soap and water or nail polish remover. This helps the polish adhere better to the nails.

2. Using a base coat is essential

Most people skip the base coat, but it's what provides a strong base for the polish. A base coat helps the polish last longer and also protects your nails from staining.

3. Apply nail polish in thin layers

Applying a thick layer at once causes the polish to crack quickly. Therefore, apply two to three thin coats. Thin layers dry faster and are more durable.

4. Don't forget to apply a top coat

A top coat gives the nail polish a glossy finish and also extends its lifespan. It prevents the nail polish from chipping, fading, or cracking.

5. Avoid contact with water

After applying nail polish, avoid exposing your hands to excessive water for at least an hour. Water weakens the polish's grip, causing it to chip easily. 

6. Use nail cream and oil.

Nail polish chips easily on dry and weak nails. Using nail oil or cuticle cream daily strengthens nails and helps the polish last longer.

7. Avoid low-quality polish

Low-quality nail polish can dry out quickly, crack, and have poor adhesion. Therefore, always choose a good brand or a polish with a good finish.
