What should I do if Vinylux polish starts to wear off before a week has passed?

If Vinylux nail polish starts to wear off or chip earlier than seven days, there are several ways to extend its longevity and improve the appearance of your pedicure.

1. Check the Application Process

Make sure the polish was applied in thin layers, as a thick application can cause faster wear.
Vinylux does not require a base coat—using one may have weakened the polish’s adhesion to the nail plate.
Degreasing the nails before application with a product like CND ScrubFresh ensures better adhesion.

2. Apply an Extra Layer of Top Coat

Refresh your pedicure by applying an additional layer of Vinylux Top Coat to protect the polish from further wear.
For extended durability, apply a new layer of top coat every two to three days.

3. Fixing Worn-Out Polish

If the polish has only worn off at the nail tips, apply a thin layer of the same color to the damaged area, then seal it with a layer of top coat.
For larger chips, it’s best to remove the polish from the affected nail and repaint it from scratch.

4. Prevent Further Wear

Avoid soaking your feet in water immediately after application, as this can weaken the polish’s durability.
Wear comfortable shoes that do not rub against your toenails, especially right after applying polish.
Regularly apply cuticle oil, such as CND SolarOil, to prevent nail dryness and improve nail health.

5. Consider a Different Color or Formula

Some Vinylux colors may have slightly different durability due to pigment variations.
If chipping happens frequently, check if the polish is expired, as this can affect its performance.

Easy Waxing recommendation

If Vinylux polish starts wearing off before a week, applying an extra top coat, fixing damaged areas, and avoiding factors that accelerate wear can help extend its longevity. Proper application and nail care will ensure a long-lasting pedicure.
