Nails can be very handy to use as a tool. Unfortunately this is terrible on your manicure. Don’t give in to the temptation to use your nails for things you shouldn’t. Opening things with your nails, prying things apart and scraping things are all manicure killers. It can take a bit longer to get things done without using your nails but it’s worth it to save your manicure.
Frequently asked questions
3. Washing Dishes
Having your hands in water a lot is hard on your manicure. Washing dishes is especially hard on them. This is probably because they’re soaking in soapy water that can cause your nail polish to weaken and chip. Use your dishwasher instead. If you have to wash your dishes by hand, wear gloves to protect your nails.
4. Hairspray
Hairspray is hard on your manicure. It can actually cause the nail polish to come off if enough of it gets on your nails. You can blame the alcohol content in hairspray for that. Try to keep your other hand out of the way when you’re spraying your hair. Use a comb to hold your hair in place while you spray instead. Your manicure will last a lot longer without hairspray hitting it.
Hairspray is a common item found in many households, but it can be surprisingly hard on your manicure. This is because of the alcohol content in hairspray, which can cause the nail polish to come off if it gets on your nails. To avoid this, it’s best to keep your other hand out of the way when you’re spraying your hair, and use a comb to hold your hair in place instead.
It’s also important to avoid using too much hairspray. Hairspray is designed to provide a strong hold, but using too much can make your hairstyle look stiff and unnatural. Additionally, if too much hairspray gets on your nails, it can cause the nail polish to chip or peel off.
It’s also important to avoid using hairspray near any open flame. Hairspray is highly flammable, and can easily catch fire if it comes into contact with a flame. Therefore, it’s best to keep hairspray away from candles, lighters, and any other open flame.
5. Fall and Winter Air
It’s much easier to keep a manicure in perfect condition in the summer. In the fall and winter the air is both cold and dry, which are the opposite of most summer conditions. As you probably already know, your hands can take a hit from the fall and winter air. It also affects your nails. You may not notice it as much as you do chapped hands but your nails can become dry and brittle, which makes your manicure more likely to chip.
