Prep nails so they’re clean and dry, use a base coat, apply two thin coats of colour, and finish with a top coat. Refresh top coat every few days.

Common causes are oily nail plates, thick coats, skipping base/top coat, or not sealing the free edge. Thin layers and good prep help most.

Yes — a base coat helps polish adhere better and can improve wear and smoothness.

A top coat boosts shine and helps protect colour from chipping. It’s one of the easiest ways to extend wear.

Let each layer dry to the touch before the next. Thin coats dry faster and wear better than thick ones.

Use thin coats, don’t overload the brush, and allow the first coat to dry slightly before the second. Some shades need three thin coats.

Use a gentle remover, press and hold on the nail for a few seconds, then wipe away. Avoid scraping or peeling.

Many people find acetone-free removers less drying. If you’re prone to dryness, follow with cuticle oil or hand cream.

Focus on hydration and protection: cuticle oil, hand cream, and a supportive base coat. Treatments can help over time.

A strengthening routine can help: supportive base coat, regular cuticle oil, and avoiding harsh removal. Consistency matters.

Follow the product instructions. Many treatments work best with regular use over several weeks.

Store upright in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to help maintain consistency and colour.

Keep lids tightly closed and avoid leaving bottles open. Store upright and away from heat.
