7 Nail Polish Hacks You Need To Know

It’s fair to assume everyone wants to have nice nails, but not everyone can afford a professional manicure every couple of weeks and few of us are just blessed with this ability to do our nails nicely. If you’re anything like me, you probably struggle with this task quite a lot but you still want to have colorfully painted nails. Well, you’re in luck because today is the day we’re going to share some amazing nail polish tips and tricks with you. Hopefully, they’ll be helpful and you’ll find the whole process much easier and much more enjoyable after learning these tricks.

1. How To Apply Nail Polish Neatly

If your biggest problem is that you constantly get nail polish on your skin as well as your nails – there’s a really easy trick to fix that. Before painting your nails, put Vaseline on the skin around your nails. Then paint them, wait for them to dry and just wipe the skin or wash your hands. The nail polish will wash off with Vaseline and you’ll be left with neatly painted nails.

2. How To Remove Nail Polish Without Nail Polish Remover

If you must, you can remove nail polish from your nails by soaking them in alcohol or vinegar for 10-15 minutes. You can also use a new coat of nail polish and wipe it away before it dries, it should remove the old nail polish underneath too. But it’s hard to imagine a situation in which you’ll desperately need to remove nail polish and you can’t go and buy nail polish remover. As far as we’re concerned – just rock the chipped old nail polish, it’s very punk.

3. How Long Does Nail Polish Last

If we’re talking about bottles on nail polish – they can pretty much last forever as long as they’re unopened. As soon as you open it some ingredients start evaporating and from that point on the nail polish is good for about 2 years. So if you have any open nail polishes on your shelf that have been there for years – just throw them away, they’re gone bad.
