How I get 5-6 days from a mani before it starts to peel off (on its own)
NOTE: EDITED TO ADD ADDITIONAL HELPFUL TIPS I had problems with this peeling off after a day or two and finding little fingernail polish chips everywhere. After trial and error, I found that I could make it last longer. 1) Make sure your nails are really clean. Wash them with hot soapy water before applying Ready for Takeoff. Any type of oil residue from cuticle cream, lotion, or food grease (I am guilty of this) will keep the product from adhering. [Edit to add: a swipe with acetone over your nails is helpful]. 2) Apply a thick coat. I have no idea why this works, but in my observation thin coats pop off easily. [EDIT] 2a) WRAP YOUR TIPS! WRAP YOUR TIPS! but not with the UNT basecoat. Only with polish! This helps the edges from snagging on stuff and lifting the basecoat off. You may have a little polish leftover at the tip when you peel off, but meh, still easier than doing all of your nails with acetone. 3) Be cautious if you use Seche Vite. It shrinks around the edges and I suspect it pulls up on the basecoast. Make sure you're apply your Seche to the colored polish on top only. 4) Apply another layer of topcoat and WRAP TIPS after about 2 or 3 days of wear. Again this will help protect the edges and keep peeling from happening. As I'm writing this I'm on day four of a mani and I'm planning on doing a top coat tonight. You're welcome. :)
