Tips for Nail Polish Purchasing

TIP #1 If your nail polish is sticky and goopy, don't get rid of it! Nail polish gets sticky fast, especially if you use it a lot. Instead of throwing it away and buying it again you can add nail polish remover. You have to add about 1/2 - 1 tablespoon (more or less :) of nail polish remover to make your nail polish nice and smooth. Make sure to shake the nail polish bottle before using it.

TIP #2 If you want a shade of nail polish that you don't have mix it with other colors to get the shade you need. HINT: use white to make colors lighter and black to make it darker. WARNING: don't mix neons with another color (the result will not be attractive... I learned the hard way :) )

TIP #3 Don't buy nail polish just because you want it. The colors you should have are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, white, black, brown, and gray. With these colors you can use tip #2 to have a wide range of different shades.

TIP #4 Don't buy expensive nail polish because if you paint your nails a lot you will just use it up. Buying cheeper brands will save you money if you have to buy new nail polish a lot. For me my white gets used up especially fast so I always buy from a less expensive brand. My white was only around $1!

TIP #5 Make sure to have a good clear coat because if you have a good clear coat your nails won't chip as fast, then you won't have to paint your nails as much, then you won't use up as much nail polish. Confused... I know. But, pretty much clear coat = less money spent on nail polish!

Follow these tips and you can save a lot of money on nail polish.
