Who doesn’t love a fresh mani that lasts? With Color Street’s dry nail polish strips, you get salon-quality nails without the hassle. But did you know a few simple tricks can help your mani last even longer? Here’s how to keep your Color Street nails looking fabulous for days on end.
1. Prep Like a Pro
Preparation is key! Start by washing your hands with soap and water to remove any oils. Use Color Street’s Nail Prep Pad (included in each set) to wipe your nails clean—this helps the strips stick better. Push back your cuticles and lightly buff the nail surface for a smooth application.
2. Choose the Right Size
Pick a strip that fits your nail without overlapping your skin or cuticles. If the strip is too big, trim it down. A perfect fit means longer-lasting wear. Try popular sets like “Tokyo Lights” or “Swiss and Tell” for a flawless look.
3. Apply with Care
Press the strip onto your nail and smooth it out from the center toward the edges. Although the nail strips are slightly stretchable for a perfect fit, avoid stretching the strip too much—this can cause lifting. Use a nail file to gently remove the excess by filing downward.
4. Seal the Deal
For extra durability, apply Color Street’s Clear as Day Overlay after your nail strips are fully set (about 30 minutes after application). This adds shine and protection, keeping your mani chip-free.
5. Avoid Water Right Away
Give your nail strips time to set by avoiding water, lotion, or heavy tasks for the first few hours. This helps them bond securely to your nails.
6. Protect Your Nails
Wear gloves when doing dishes or cleaning to prevent water and chemicals from weakening your nail strips. Treat your mani with care to extend its lifespan.
7. Store Your Strips Properly
If you have leftover strips, store them in their original packaging, sealed tightly to prevent drying out. A resealable bag works wonders to keep them fresh. If you'd like to read about some additional storage tips, check out this blog post ... HERE
