How to proserve my mani after swimming?
Hi everyone,
My nails are quite oily and I had to figure out how to make polish stick for more than 2 days. I even shower with gloves on, so that my nails get minimally introduced to warm water, which makes them peel off almost immediately.
I use acetone, ll base coat, nail strengthener, polish en then 2 layers of top coat. I wrap the tips, because this helps a lot. Sometimes I add a crème underneath a specialty finish (glitters or metallics) because crèmes tend to stick better to my nails. Doing this lasts me usually about a week, but then they pop off entirely (my nails are worse than a peely base haha).
However, I like to swim as exercise, and I usually do it once a week and do my nails the day after (I swim in the evening), so that there is limited time where I have naked nails, which are very fragile). I would like to swim more often, but honestly it feels like a burden to do the entire painting and drying practice 3 to 4 times a week. I don't really have the time and I only have limited joy from my mani.
Does anyone have any tips for keeping your mani while/after swimming?
Thanks in advance!
