Rimmel Super Gel Nail Polish Urban Purple

Top Tips for Your Tips

Looking for more ways to get a pro-level manicure? Try these quick fixes…

• Even if your nails are already bare, swipe on some nail polish remover before you apply your Super Gel shade to ensure nailbeds are clean and free of oils.

• If you’re prone to chips, choose an oval or squoval nail shape over stiletto or coffin nails. Rounded nails don’t catch as easily, so it’s less likely you’ll dent your polish.

• Fix smudges on still-wet polish by dampening your finger and pressing colour back into place. Then, seal with a top coat.

• Put the hairdryer down. Heat actually prevents your nail polish from drying, so a quick blast can do more harm than good. Let your nails dry naturally instead.
