Moisturize
First things first. Keep your feet and nails moisturize to prolong your pedicure. This doesn’t only make your pedicure look better, but moisturizing your feet can make your pedicure look brand new because it keeps your skin and cuticles soft and hydrated. Always keep in mind to keep unscented lotion to moisturize your feet, as this will make the nail polish crack faster.
Avoid too much heat exposure
Did you know that nail polish takes about twelve hours to harden? Instead of exposing your nails to the heat, try sticking your nails in the freezer for a few minutes to help it harden faster.
Don’t dip your toes too much in the pool
We’re all aware that the chlorine content in the pool can make your polish’s life span shorter than you can imagine. What you can do is spend more time in the poolside rather than dipping your toes in the pool.
Choose an open-toed shoes
After you visit the salon, avoid wearing avoid closed-toed shoes for 10-12 hours. However, if you need to go out using closed shoes, then try wearing socks to avoid flaking. You can also apply a bit of cuticle oil over freshly painted nails to keep the colors intact.
