11 Genius Ways to Make Your Manicure Last Longer

Sealing in your nail polish with a top coat isn't just a one-time thing. It's usually the first to fade, so try reapplying it throughout the week. This adds a fresh layer of protection for the paint and also, strengthens the nails. And besides, who doesn't want to keep some shine and glow on their nails?

With top coats, opt to use glossy ones that are quick-drying. Generally, matte top coats are not quite as good at keeping the mani on longer, so stick to glossy finishes if you're trying to make your mani last longer.
