Getting the best nail art you always dreamt of can be easy once you are well equipped.
1. Base and Top Coat
Make your lacquer stay longer by investing in a top coat which will seal your polish and guard it against chipping and peeling and the base coat helps protect your nails by working as a protective layer between your nails and the polish.
2. Nail Polish Remover and Cotton Balls
If you need to remove some ugly chipped nail polish which could ruin your gala, you better carry these in your nail kit. Sometimes you also want to give yourself a break from nail polish and nail art and give them time to repair and rejuvenate and you must remove the nail paint properly with cotton swabs and a remover.
3. A nail repair coat
With the constant application and removal of nail paints, your nails can become fragile and even start breaking. It is hence advisable to apply a nail repair formula specially designed to protect and repair nails damaged due to nail paints. It conditions the nails and strengthens them.
