As I have holidays right now, I spent last week with my family and friends in the country. The whole group of people, maybe apart from two representatives of male society, consisted of women determined enough to start a 'nail spa' in the middle of nowhere. I have to admit, that conditions weren't fully in our favor, although it didn't stop us. As I know that many of us have probably been in a situaction of this kind, here are some tips, which may simplify manicure making during a trip.
1) Paint your nails in the evening
Summer heat waves surely are an enemy of a perfectly made micure, as temperatures oscillating around 25-30 degrees cause air blebs to create on the surface of nail polish. Paint your nails in the afternoon or even later, when it is more chilly, in order to prevent creation of blebs.
2) Use 'sandy' nail polish
Nail polish with a strongly rugged structure are more likely to hide indentations, scuffs and other imperfections than their traditional counterparts, and they still look awsome (in some cases even better than normal nail polish).
3) Use a top coat
Not only will your nails look better, but they will also last longer! If you spend your time in turns in the water and burning sun, your manicure is not likely to undergo such conditions for a long time. Top coat not only will make them last longer without a scratch, but also protect your nails from harmful outside factors.
4) Wait half an hour
During the first half an hour after painting your last nail you shouldn't be doing anything, which could damage your manicure. Actually, it would be the best, if you... didn't do anything at all. Believe - it is a great excuse from washing the dishes after lunch!
5 use a conditioner
I have already mentioned harmful outside factors, but I will do that again - high temperatures, sand and salty water are really bad for your poor nails. Use a nail conditioner before putting a colour in order to prevent their splitting and breaking.
