As Holi approaches, the vibrant festival of colors, it’s essential to safeguard your nail art from the potential staining effects of the colorful powders and water.
How to protect nail art and nail extensions from Holi colours
Here are some tips to ensure your nail art stays intact and vibrant throughout the festivities:
1) Apply Transparent Nail Paint on Top of It
To safeguard your nail art or extensions during Holi, start by applying two or more layers of transparent nail paint coats on your nail art or your extensions. Once dry, coat them with cuticle oil, Vaseline, olive oil, or coconut oil over it. Later, when you are done with the Holi celebrations, remove it with acetone or a nail paint remover.
2)
Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize
Moisturize with cuticle oil for nail care, including the area around the nails. This method shields the nails and surrounding skin, ensuring your nail art stays intact and your nails remain healthy.
3) Keep Nails Short
Consider keeping your nails short during Holi to minimize the surface area exposed to color pigments. Shorter nails are also less likely to chip or break during the festivities.
4) Wear Gloves
If you’re concerned about protecting your nail art, wearing gloves while playing with Holi colors can be a practical solution. Opt for disposable plastic gloves or reusable waterproof gloves to shield your hands and nails.
5) Remove Stains Promptly
Despite taking precautions, your nail art may still get stained during Holi celebrations. To prevent long-term discoloration, promptly remove any color stains using nail polish remover or a gentle nail cleanser.
By following these tips, you can enjoy the colorful festivities of Holi while keeping your nail art looking flawless and vibrant. Happy Holi!
