Nail polish gives your hands a very glamorous look.  So it is essential to apply nail polish correctly. The first thing you should do before applying nail polish is remove the old paint with a remover.

It not only removes the nail paint but also helps to keep the new coat on for a longer period of time. For a more glossy effect, you should opt for two or more thin coats of nail polish instead of a thick coat because thin coats last longer than the thick ones.

In order to prevent the nails from drying, you should definitely use a remover and nail polish at least once a week.  It is very important to choose the right nail polish remover. Go for good quality removers which have built-in moisturizers, as they keep the nails healthy and nourished.

If you want a French manicure, go for a white nail pencil instead of the white nail polish, as it will give a better and purer, white clean look. If you want your nail polish to last longer, you should put you freshly painted hands in a bowl of ice for 30 seconds. If your nail polish is chipping off, you should remove it and reapply instead of applying another coat.

You should be very careful when you file your nails, and it is advisable to avoid filing the corners of the nails as it makes them brittle. To give your nails a funky look, try nail art. You can opt for simple to complicated patterns according to your choice.

For club nights out and hot dates, you can go for a different look like nail tattoos, nail piercing, embellishment, etc. You can also add shimmer and glitter to your nails. Mix and match nail color and shimmer to match your outfit and give yourself different, amazing and formal looks.
