Nail polishes: discover the myths
1 – You shouldn’t paint your nails every week
Most women don’t give up on always having their nails tidy (read, painted) and, in this sense, one of the most commonly circulated myths relates to the fact that painting your nails weekly makes them more brittle and fragile. Nothing more unfounded!
The truth is that it is possible to make your nails colorful every week without compromising the health of your nails, as long as the nail polish is removed 48 hours before repainting to avoid the appearance of unsightly stains.
2 – Applying base coat to your nails before painting is just an accessory procedure
Myth, myth and myth! Whether sporadically or every week, painting your nails should always be preceded by the prior application of the base, which forms a protective film on the surface and ensures that the nail polish remains intact and beautiful for longer.
3 – If you paint your nails with darker nail polish, they will look longer
This is another classic myth that needs to be demystified: nails only grow and develop healthily through the adoption of a daily care routine that includes sanding and applying a strengthening base once a week. Dark nail polish only gives the visual illusion of nail extension, especially when they have already exceeded a considerable minimum length.
4 – The more layers you apply, the longer the enamel will last
Wrong! Nail polish will last depending on the care taken before, during and after the manicure; Following this logic, it is necessary that the nails are properly hydrated, receive a protective base layer and, at most, two layers of nail polish of the desired shade. To finish and maintain the result obtained, a layer of drying nail polish that contains shine must be applied.
5 – Dark nail polish stains your nails
It is natural that, as a result of the dark nail polish coming into contact with the nail for some time, it presents residue when it is removed. However, the apparent dark color left on the nail is only temporary.
Always consult your manicurist to answer any questions you may have and ask for advice on applicable products and treatments; The application of self-recreation techniques and cosmetics can sometimes result in serious damage to the nails and lead to the emergence of more serious health problems. Additionally, always use good quality products in your care routine, complementing them with a daily intake of 2 liters of water, which promotes skin hydration and prevents dryness and premature aging of the skin.
