First and foremost, choose a top-quality nail polish with built-in base coat. Some polishes come with a base coat already applied, so double-check before selecting one. Also, be sure to pick the right color for your skin tone \u2013 too cool or warm tones won&#8217;t flatter your hands as much as the perfect hue will!<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve chosen the suitable polish, apply it in thin coats for the best results. This helps prevent chipping and peeling of your manicure. After each layer dries completely (which shouldn&#8217;t take more than 2 minutes), apply a second coat. Be sure to wait at least 10 minutes before adding a topcoat of clear polish \u2013 this helps seal the color and give your manicure extra staying power.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-45\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fabuloushairup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/longlastingmanicure1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"876\" height=\"521\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.fabuloushairup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/longlastingmanicure1.jpg 876w, http:\/\/www.fabuloushairup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/longlastingmanicure1-300x178.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.fabuloushairup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/longlastingmanicure1-768x457.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 876px) 100vw, 876px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve completed your manicure, make sure to allow it to dry completely before doing any work that could damage it.

Following these tips will help keep your manicure looking great for longer!<\/p>\n<h2>Get your manicure to last 2 weeks with these tips<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-47\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fabuloushairup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/longlastingmanicure3.jpg\" alt=\"protect your manicure\" width=\"290\" height=\"290\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.fabuloushairup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/longlastingmanicure3.jpg 380w, http:\/\/www.fabuloushairup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/longlastingmanicure3-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.fabuloushairup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/longlastingmanicure3-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/>Start with clean nails. Remove old polish, dirt, or oils from your fingernails before starting your manicure.<\/li>\n<li>Apply a base coat. A base coat helps prevent the polish from staining your nails and prevents chipping. Make sure to apply a thin layer and let it dry completely before applying the color polish.<\/li>\n<li>Choose a long-lasting polish. Look for polishes containing polymers and resins that help the color adhere to your nails better and last longer without chipping or fading.<\/li>\n<li>Apply 2 coats of color polish. Again, let each layer fully dry before moving onto the next one.<\/li>\n<li>Seal it with a top coat. A topcoat helps protect your manicure from the elements and gives it a glossy shine. Apply a thin layer and let it dry thoroughly between coats.<\/li>\n<li>Be mindful of how you use your nails. Avoid activities that may damage or chip your polish, such as opening cans, dishes, etc. Wear gloves when washing dishes or doing housework to protect your manicure.<\/li>\n<li>Moisturize regularly. Keep your hands moisturized with lotion so they stay hydrated and don&#8217;t absorb too much moisture from the environment, which can weaken your manicure over time.<\/li>\n<li>Keep up with regular maintenance. If you notice any chips or peeling, add another coat of topcoat to help extend the life of your manicure. Reapply every few days as needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Following these steps will help you enjoy a chip-free, long-lasting manicure for up to two weeks! Then, have fun and experiment with different colors and designs to create your unique look.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re like most women, you love getting your nails done.
