For cosmetic maintenance, applying a thin coat once or twice a week is typical. The polish dries relatively quickly, forming a light, protective layer. Apply to clean, dry nails, and allow it to dry completely before putting on socks or shoes to prevent smudging and ensure the coating sets properly.
To remove it, use a standard, non-acetone or gentle acetone-based nail polish remover. Acetone-free removers are often less drying to the nail and surrounding skin. Soak a cotton pad, hold it on the nail for a few seconds to soften the polish, then wipe gently from cuticle to tip. Avoid scraping or peeling the polish off, as this can damage the top layers of the nail plate. After removal, you can let your nails breathe for a day before reapplying. Store the polish bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
