1. White Vinegar
Before applying the nail paint on your nails, wipe them off with a cotton soaked in white vinegar. This will absorb the excess oil from your nails and leave your nails with a smooth and perfect base for nail paint application. Don’t dip your hands straight away in the white vinegar. This will make your nail paint look lumpy.

2. Nail Paint Remover in Place of White Vinegar
In case you don’t find white vinegar, you can also wipe your nails with nail paint remover before applying the nail paint. This will soak the excess oil from your nails. Immediately apply the nail paint after it. In this way, your nail paint will stay for one week.
