How to care for a Vinylux pedicure to make it last as long as possible?

A CND Vinylux pedicure is known for its durability. However, proper care can extend its lifespan even further. Here are some essential tips to keep your pedicure looking flawless for as long as possible.

1. Proper Application of the Polish

✔ Do not use a base coat – Vinylux has a self-adhering formula, and a base coat may weaken its adhesion.
✔ Apply thin layers of polish – Two thin coats will last longer than one thick coat.
✔ Do not skip the top coat – Vinylux Top Coat hardens with natural light, increasing its resistance to chipping and wear.
✔ Allow sufficient drying time – After application, wait at least 15 minutes before putting on shoes. Ideally, avoid tight shoes for the first hour.

2. Avoid Excessive Water Exposure

For the first few hours after application, avoid soaking your feet to allow the polish to fully set.
Avoid prolonged exposure to hot water – Long baths, hot tubs, or swimming pools may weaken the polish.

3. Regular Moisturizing and Care

Use cuticle oil – Applying CND SolarOil daily strengthens the nails and prevents them from drying out.
Moisturize your feet – Regularly applying foot cream prevents cracked skin, which can affect pedicure longevity.
Wear cotton socks at night – If you have dry skin, this helps keep your feet soft and healthy.

4. Prevent Mechanical Damage

Wear comfortable shoes – Avoid footwear that puts pressure on the toenails, as it may cause chipping.
Be cautious with sand and rough surfaces – While at the beach, wear sandals to protect your nails from sand, which can act like a scrub and wear down the polish.
Wear socks during workouts – Excess friction in sports shoes can shorten the lifespan of your pedicure.

5. Refresh the Top Coat for Extended Wear

To prolong the pedicure’s durability, apply an extra layer of Vinylux Top Coat every 2-3 days – this will make the polish more resistant to wear.

6. Proper Removal of Vinylux Polish

Do not peel or scratch off the polish! – This can damage the nail plate.
Use a gentle nail polish remover – Vinylux can be easily removed with a non-acetone remover, which is safer for your nails.

Easy Waxing recommendation

To keep your Vinylux pedicure looking great for as long as possible:
Apply it correctly – thin layers, no base coat, and always use the top coat.
Avoid prolonged water exposure and excessive friction.
Moisturize your cuticles and feet regularly.
Protect your nails from mechanical damage (tight shoes, sand, sports).
Refresh the top coat every few days to extend the life of the pedicure.

By following these simple steps, your Vinylux pedicure will stay flawless for an extended period!
