The Ultimate Guide to Long-Lasting Nails – Tips & Best Products

As nail technicians, we all know the struggle of clients asking, "How do I make my nails last longer?" Whether it's gel polish, BIAB (builder in the bottle), or extensions, longevity is key! To help you keep your clients happy and coming back for flawless nails, we’ve rounded up the best tips and products from Dolla Nails Pro to ensure a long-lasting, chip-free finish.

1. Prepping the Nails Properly

A perfect set starts with proper prep. Make sure nails are free of oils and residue by using a high-quality nail dehydrator and primer. Dolla Nails Pro’s Prep & Prime duo ensures maximum adhesion, preventing lifting and peeling.

2. Using High-Quality Gel Polish

Not all gel polishes are created equal! A poor-quality gel can chip within days, while a professional-grade polish will stay flawless for weeks. Dolla Nails Pro’s Gel Polish Collection offers rich pigments, smooth application, and long-lasting wear, keeping your clients’ nails looking fresh.

3. The Power of Builder Gel 

Liquid Builder Gel is a game-changer for strengthening natural nails. It acts as a protective barrier, preventing breakage and making nails more durable. Soon we will present Dolla Nails Pro’s builder gels in a range of shades and offer the perfect balance of flexibility and strength.

4. Sealing the Deal with a Strong Top Coat

A great top coat is essential for locking in colour and shine. Whether your client prefers glossy or matte, Dolla Nails Pro’s No-Wipe Top Coats provide a flawless, long-lasting finish that resists chips and scratches.

5. Educating Clients on Aftercare

Longevity isn’t just about what we do in the salon—clients need to care for their nails at home too. Remind them to wear gloves when doing housework, avoid using their nails as tools, and regularly apply Cuticle Oil to keep their nails hydrated and strong.

By following these steps and using the right products, your clients will enjoy longer-lasting nails, and you’ll have fewer complaints about lifting or chipping. Stock up on Dolla Nails Pro essentials today and give your clients the nails they deserve!
