Myth 1 : A nail polish gets back on track when put into the fridge.

Not true.

This is one of the biggest myths in nailpolish history.

It doesn’t work it actually makes nailpolish even more sticky and thickens its consistency.

Myth 2 : A nail polish gets back on track when you drop nail varnish remover into it.

Also not true.

This is one of the second biggest myths in nailpolish history.

What to do then if you want to revive your nailpolish?

First up, before you revive it, try to make it last as long as possible:

How?

Store it somewhere dark and preferably cool. E.g. your closet.

If it gets sticky after a while anyways - give it a hot water bath to liquefy again.

Myth 3 : White spots on your nails mean you suffer from a lack of calcium.

Not true.

Much more it means that the white spots are a consequence of you accidentally bumping your nails at a ceiling or that you got too crazy excited about life. :)

Myth 4 : One of the most frequently perceived myths: Blowing onto nail polish makes it dry faster.

Not true. The breath even makes nailpolish take longer to dry. With that said this means - well.

You’ll sadly have to wait, friend.

Ah wait no. What about a cold water bath to speed up the drying process?

Also not helping it might harden the upper layer but not the whole nailpolish which then tends give you the impression of dry nails risking dents within the freshly painted nailpolish. 

What else?

The blow dryer is a lovely assistant for drying nails. Quick-dry drops are also worth a try, same goes with quick dry nail spray.
But no worries SiiRO nailpolish is known for drying extra fast.

Myth 5 : Shaking prevents nail polish from drying out.

Nope. If you shake the bottle it more or less gives oxygen the chance to aerate which then leads to you having a sticky nailpolish even faster.

What else to do? Gently roll the nailpolish between your hands to mix up the nailpolish texture again.

Myth 6 : You need to pause with nail polish once in a while.

Not true. Nails get vitalized and nurtured by the nail bed. Nailpolish can even help and support nurturing the nails and embedding natural fats supplied by the nail itself. The ability to let
“sogar von oben atmen lassen, von Siiro muss man nicht pausieren”.

Myth 7: Filing back and forth is one of the worst things to do.

Not true. Filing your nails back and forth won’t harm the natural nail plate if you use the right file and the correct downward pressure. Files are measured in grit.

To give you an idea: 80/80 grit files are used for removal of very heavy product on the nail - such as acrylic nails or comparable.

150 grit -  is often used to file the nail surface and to shape the whole nail.

180 grit is very suitable to prepare the natural nail before applying any product also to shape and shorten the natural nail.

It would be advisable to not use grits that are below 180 for your natural nail.

Myth 8 : Layering nail polish makes it last longer.

Not true. The more you layer the longer it takes for the nailpolish to dry and the more likely it is that you risk dents within the polish.
