Love painted toes? You do not have to choose between polish and your Nail Defender routine. A little timing makes both work.
What the brand suggests
For best absorption, Nail Defender should go on clean, unpolished nails. If you use polish, let the spray dry fully first, or apply it during polish-free periods.
Three simple ways to combine them
- Spray first, polish later. Spray clean nails, let them dry completely, then paint.
- Plan polish-free days. Take polish off for a few days and keep spraying daily.
- Keep the skin around the nail in the routine. The spray still reaches the edges and cuticle area.
Removing polish
After removing polish, wash and dry your nails before your next spray so the surface is clean.
