FAQs

How long until Selenia nail polishes start chipping off?

A regular manicure will last between 2-5 days depending on different factors such as the condition of your nail bed and preparation of the nail pre color application. Selenia Beauty’s nail polishes will last between 3-7 days. Some clients have shared that their manicures have lasted up to 8 days, but results will vary. 
We recommend using an equally good top coat such as our On The Go Quick Dry Top Coat.


Are Selenia Beauty nail polishes  fast dry?
Yes! Selenia’s nail polishes are fast dry.

How many coats do I need to apply when using Selenia Beauty nail polishes?
Two coats of Selenia’s nail polishes will give you an opaque coverage. If you are going for full body opaque, we recommend applying a third coat.

My nail polish keeps chipping. How can I make my manicure last longer?

Start every manicure wiping your bare nails with rubbing alcohol or 100% acetone. This removes all traces oil and residue, creating a clean surface for product application. Next, apply 1 coat of base coat. This acts as a primer, helping polish adhere to the nail. Then, apply 2-3 thin coats of nail polish. This allows your polish layers to dry faster. Finally, apply 1-2 coats of quick-dry top coat to protect and add a glossy shine.

 

My nail polish turned thick and goopy. How can I fix it?

Over time, ingredients in your nail polish will start to evaporate and change the consistency of the product. To remedy this, nail polish thinner is added to replace the evaporated ingredients and return your product back to its original form. You can find basic thinner at any drugstore or beauty supply shop. To use, add 5-10 drops to your nail polish bottle and shake vigorously. Check the consistency and repeat if necessary. Never use remover or acetone to thin your polish.

 

My nail polish has separated. Did it go bad?

Over time, particle settlement may occur and you will start to see ingredient separation in your bottle. This is normal and does not affect the color of the product. To use it again, simply shake your bottle vigorously to mix the contents back up.
