Hitting the Pool All Day?
Before you head to the pool, it’s worth taking extra precautions as chlorine can dry out your nails and cuticles. The night before, apply OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener onto bare nails. Or, If you’re already wearing polish, you can add an extra layer of OPI Top Coat for additional mani protection.

Don't Forget to Hydrate!
Prolonged soaking in water (like pools) can cause nails to expand and become more vulnerable to premature chipping and peeling, so try to take some breaks from the ocean and make sure to hydrate by drinking plenty of water.
Say No To Yellow Nails
No, not yellow nail polish—we love classic bright yellow shades, like Exotic Birds Do Not Tweet. We’re talking yellow nails. Try not to spend too much time in the sun as UV rays can cause fading and yellowing of many nail polish colours. To prevent your manicure from taking a turn for the worse, prep your nails with not one, but two layers of OPI Natural Nail Base Coat before your favourite nail polish shades. Plus, don’t forget to apply sunscreen to your hands and feet!

Opt for a Gel Nail Polish Manicure
Just like our hair, our nails also absorb water. So after a fun day at the beach or in the pool, a manicure is likely to lift and chip. If you want a nail colour that lasts for your whole vacation, consider visiting your favourite nail salon and asking for an OPI GelColor manicure. With 3 weeks of wear and shine, you know that once it’s on, a gel mani isn’t going anywhere.

Keep Your Nails Fresh
Summer is filled with beach trips, vacations, and lots of fun activities, so if you don’t have the time to perfect your nails as often as you’d like, use a quick-dry top coat like RapiDry Top Coat nail polish dryer, to quickly dry nail polish shades to perfection. Or, go from wet, to set, in just 60 seconds with OPI Drip Dry nail polish drying drops.
