We have some great resources on our site! Check out our Mani 101 guide.

We also recommend:

1. Prep, prep, prep. You'll want to make sure you're avoiding hand washing and showering for at least 30 mins to an hour before you paint.
2. Make sure you are not using a separate base coat, as our polish has a built-in one.
3. Prep nails with the Nail Polish Remover Pot, and avoid touching your hair, towels, etc so no oil can transfer to your nail bed.
4. Then, always paint 2-3 VERY THIN coats and give each one at least 5-10 minutes of dry time before applying another.
5. Clean up any polish that is on your cuticles, and make sure it is only on the nail itself. That will help prevent any peeling around your cuticles!
6. Seal with your Long Lasting Top Coat and reapply every 2-3 days to really lock in the mani and keep it fresh!

The trick to perfect cuticles is to keep them consistently hydrated. We recommend applying Cuticle Serum 2-3 times a day. For extra dry or stubborn cuticles, apply Cuticle Balm before bed as a nourishing overnight treatment. Remember to only clip anything that is hanging using your nail clippers. Never pull or tug on a hangnail. Gently push back cuticles before every manicure and buff away any dead skin. We never recommend you cut your cuticles as you can hurt yourself and get an infection. This will teach your cuticles to lie flat over time

We recommend these tips for the best smooth mani finish!

• If you need to mix your polish, roll it between your hands rather than shaking it, which can cause bubbles.
• Prep your nails with our Nail Polish Remover Pot or our Nail Primer to make sure the nail plates are clean and dry.
• Start with a thin first coat and a thicker second. Thin coats help prevent bubbling!
• Wait 5-10 minutes in between coats for the polish to adhere.
• Seal with Long Lasting Top Coat and reapply it every 2-3 days to keep your mani fresh!

Chipping always comes down to the prep! To make sure your mani can be long-lasting, make sure you're avoiding hand washing during the prep steps, and avoiding showering right before you paint, as water can cause your nail plate to expand!

Remove polish with the Nail Polish Remover Pot, and avoid touching your hair, towels, etc so no oil can transfer to your nail bed. Then, paint in 2-3 thin coats while giving the coats at least 5-10 minutes of dry time in between. Seal with Long Lasting Top Coat and reapply every 2-3 days to really lock in the mani and keep it fresh!

If you're still experiencing chipping after following these steps, add in Nail Primer to your routine before painting to help further dehydrate your nail plate.

For best results, we recommend using the top coat that matches your polish formula.

• Long Lasting Polish works best with Long Lasting Top Coat for maximum wear and durability.
• Quick Dry Polish works best with Quick Dry Top Coat for the fastest dry time.
• Using Quick Dry Top Coat over Long Lasting polish may shorten wear or affect performance.

For best results, always allow ample dry time. For long-lasting polish, allow at least 5 minutes - 10 minutes if you have it! For Quick Dry polish, allow at least 1 minute between coats. Not allowing for proper dry time can cause bubbles and early chips.
