Prevent nail damage. When applying nail polish, you can choose according to your favorite color, because there are many colors and types of nail polish. However, many nail polishes now contain certain chemicals, which will have a certain impact on the nails or skin after application. Therefore, when applying, you basically have to apply a base coat to prevent the nails from being damaged. Especially traditional types of nail polish contain a certain amount of formaldehyde or other chemicals. Long-term use will cause the nails to become thinner or calcium loss. In this case, if you apply a layer of base coat when using it, it can prevent the nails from being damaged and will also have a certain protective effect on the nails.

It depends on the situation. If it is ordinary nail polish, it will dry quickly after application, and you don't need to use a light therapy lamp. In addition, the material in this nail polish does not contain photosensitive coagulant, and using a lamp will not speed up the drying of the nail polish. If it is phototherapy nail polish, you need to use a lamp to achieve a better effect. Of course, this kind of nail polish is generally more common in nail salons, and ordinary boutiques do not sell this kind of nail polish.

Yes. When applying nail polish, it is generally recommended to wait until one layer is dry before applying the next layer. If you rush to apply the next layer before the first layer is dry, it is easy to make the final painted nails uneven, thus affecting its effectiveness. Therefore, it is usually recommended to wait 3-5 minutes after applying one layer before applying the next layer, and try not to let dust, moisture or grease get on the nails during this process, which will affect the subsequent color.

If nail polish is accidentally smeared on your fingers, and you are afraid that the nail polish will be removed by using nail polish remover, you can first gently dip your finger with a tissue or cotton swab, and then the remaining nail polish will dry quickly. At this time, put your hand in warm water and gently rub your skin, because the skin is not smooth, it is easy to wash off the nail polish. Finally, if there is a little mark left, you can wipe it with a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover or alcohol.
