Glass nails and jelly nails: sheer colour under a sheet of gloss
Glass nails are sheer jelly polish in thin coats under a high-gloss top coat, so the colour looks set under glass. How they differ from glazed donut.
How long nail polish lasts, finish by finish
Regular nail polish lasts 3 to 7 days on fingernails, longer on toes. Wear times per finish and activity, what shortens them, and a 5-day routine.
How many coats of nail polish you need, and why thin beats thick
Most nail polish needs a base coat, two thin colour coats and a top coat. Thick coats stay soft and chip. Sheers, foils and magnetic polish differ.
How nail polish works: from wet coat to hard film
Nail polish works by evaporation. Solvents leave, nitrocellulose chains lock into a film, plasticisers keep it flexible. Why thin coats dry harder.
