11 Genius Ways to Make Your Manicure Last Longer

The longevity of your polish also lies with its application. A golden rule to keep in mind is when the polish is thicker, it's also easier to peel off. With opaque colors, two thin coats should be enough. If you're using pastel or neon colors, try applying a white nail polish first so you don't have to apply bajillion coats to really make the color pop.

Patience is important when applying. You've got to wait until the previous layer is dry before adding a new one. (This applies for the basecoat and top coat as well.)
