Coat Opi

Many men and woman work hard to achieve and maintain strong, healthy nails. Unfortunately, sometimes this is difficult due to a number of reasons. Nails can become brittle, cracked, soft, stained, etc. The truth is that the color of a person’s nails has to do directly with that individual’s overall health. If the nails are transparent with a rose color, it indicates good health. However, if the nails are brittle and pale, the person’s health is not where it should be. The most important thing a person can do is to eat a well-balanced diet, drink lots of water, exercise, and get adequate sleep. Simple lifestyle changes such as these are the beginning to healthy nails but it goes beyond that.

The key is to always use high quality and natural products if possible and start a good nail are regimen. For instance, the individual should remove all nail polish. Next, warm castor or coconut oil should be applied to the nail area, being massaged in for several minutes to help soften the cuticles and sooth dry areas around the nail bed. Then, the individual should dip the nails into a mixture of one tablespoon lemon juice and one cup of warm water.

After soaking for about ten minutes, the nails would be manicured. When finished, a clear base coat of polish should be applied. Once dried, quality nail polish would be applied, allowed to dry, and then a second coat applied. After both coats of colored polish are dry, another coat of clear polish should be applied to seal and protect the color. A few other tips that people can use for maintaining healthy, strong nails include:

• Only acetone-free polish remover should be used in that remover with acetone strips the nails of essential oils that are needed to maintain strength and health.

• To keep cuticles soft and the area around the nail bed smooth, a type of rich, natural cream should be massaged in two times a week. If the cuticles are badly damaged, alpha hydroxyl cream is a great healer and moisturizer.

• To treat unsightly nail fungus or some other type of nail infection, a mixture of tea tree and lavender oil is one of the best solutions

• To keep nails shiny and healthy looking, rub them with a small piece of lemon

• Breakage can be avoided not only by eating a healthy diet but also by filing in the same direction and never filing while the nails are wet

revlon base coat+ opi curry up dont be late…?

when i put the base coat on my nails i let it dry over night plus the following day. it will be dry. i will put a really thin coat of opi curry up dont be late and let it dry for about 5 hours. after that i can touch it and stuff. but it can scrape it off with my nails. like it is some kind of goop.

what can i do about this. and why is it not working
i dont get the chance to put on a top coat because of the gooyness

It’s good that you are using a base coat, but you mention nothing about using a top coat. This is key for a good outcome. I suggest getting ” Start to Finish by OPI ” this is a 2 in 1 product , base + top coat.
It dries fast and prevents chipping.

I worked with an OPI distributor and can tell you if you this is not normal. OPI is known to dry well since it’s a laquer ( it’s not regular nail polish ).. Where did you but it ? Unless you bought it from a salon or authorized store it could be an imitation.

Try the start to finish , they also have a product called DRIP DRY. You put one drop in each nail and it dries in 60 seconds. If this does not work RETURN the nail polish because something is wrong .

Hope this helps !
