Clear polish is an artists best friend


Keep your hands clean while doing art projects with clear nail polish!

Every time I mix a new batch of henna or play with paint, I always like to make sure my nails are covered to prevent stains and what not. If henna stains your nails, the only way to get it of is to grow the nail out and cut it off or cover it with colored nail polish.

I actually don't like the look of chipped colored nail polish so I like to stick to clear. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and it always seems that colored polish always chips right within the day I do it. I prefer natural looking nails for everyday life.

Especially with henna. Brown henna stains can make your hands and nails look dirty and takes forever to fade away or get rid of! If paint or henna stains ever gets on to my nails I can always remove it with nail polish remover.
So when coating your nails, always try to cover the area evenly. Multiple thin coats prevent chipping. Let it dry between each layer. Also don't forget to get under the your nails as well.You can use clear polish as a base or top coat with colored polish as well, for extra strength and shine.
 
Other than creating a barrier for your nails there are other benefits to regular use of clear polish. It can strengthen, prevent breaking and even help growth.There are a variety of over the counter to choose from but I've heard from friends that Sally Hansen Diamond Strength is a good product to use. I still have a bunch natural clear polish so I haven't been able to try it out yet.

 
 Well thanks for reading! Hope this helps you like it did me. :)
