Question

My black nail polish keeps peeling off really fast. any reccomedations???

Answer 1

put 3 coats

2 black

1 clear

before putting each on make sure the one before that is dry

Answer 2

Also, you need to make sure that your nails do not have any natural oils or lotion on them, which stops the polish from bonding well to the nail surface. You can even use a light application of nail polish remover to make sure your nails are clean and don't have any oils on their surface.

Answer 3

if you have a sallys around they sell stuff called sticky it's a natural nail base coat.also a top coat.

Answer 4

Mine used to do that too...try a clear coat over the black..should make it last longer. That's what worked for me.

Answer 5

buff nails first, then apply an undercoat so the polish sticks better.  use your polish & then apply a top coat.  you can apply topcoats daily as needed.  & it may be that the nail polish is "cheap."  maybelline is not expensive & i find it stays on almost a week!

Answer 6

My tips:

1) First, make sure your hands are clean. Wash in soapy water then trim, file, buff - do whatever you need to.

2) Moisturise. Push cuticles back if you want.

3) Dry hands

4) Then apply one coat of your black nail polish

5) Allow coat to dry completely

6) Apply second coat

This should stop it from peeling off heaps fast. If it doesnt - try looking at buying another brand of nail polish! Some brands just don't last long.

Answer 7

this works best. try a THIN clear coat, allow to dry. Then apply thin coats of your black nail polish allowing each to completely dry until desired appearance is achieved. You could also try using a thin coat of super glue on top of your black nail polish...lasts a long time.
