I’m getting ready for a big event next weekend and I want to make sure my nails look perfect the whole time. I usually do my nails myself, but I’ve had trouble in the past with them chipping or losing their shine halfway through the event. Does anyone have tips for making your nails last longer during special occasions? Should I be using certain products or techniques? I want them to last all night without needing a touch-up!
There’s definitely a few things you can do to ensure your nails hold up during an event. First off, the key is to use high-quality products that are designed for longevity, like gel polish or long-lasting topcoats. One of the best tips I can give you is to use a Rubber top gel as your final layer. It creates a tough, protective barrier that will resist chipping and maintain its shine, even if you’re dancing all night.
If you’re looking for professional-grade products, check out the Kodi nail polish for a variety of gel polishes and topcoats that are known for their durability and sleek finish. They also have some great options for base and topcoats that help your manicure last longer. I also recommend using a light hand when applying to avoid too much product buildup, which can cause peeling later.
Lastly, be sure to avoid using your nails as tools (no opening cans or bottles!) and try wearing gloves when doing household chores before the event to keep them in top shape.
I’ve also noticed that the type of polish you choose really matters. Gel polishes, while a bit more work to remove, definitely stay put much longer than regular polish. I used Kodi's gel last time for a wedding, and my nails stayed perfect all day, even with all the handshakes and photos! Definitely worth investing in good products for special occasions.
