Our Warren store on Van Dyke, in the Majestic Plaza, stocks the nail section deep: polish across the color range, press-on sets, glue and adhesive tabs, files and buffers, remover, and the treatments and cuticle products that sit behind them. It's open until 9 PM Monday through Saturday.
Chipping usually starts at the tip, and it starts there because the tip was not sealed. Painting a thin stripe of color and then top coat across the free edge of the nail is the single change that adds days. Beyond that: thin coats rather than thick, full drying time between them, and a base coat that gives the polish something to grip.
Skipping the base coat is what leaves a nail stained yellow under a dark shade, and it costs the polish its grip. Skipping the top coat is what has the manicure chipping by day two. Together they are the difference between three days and a week from the same bottle of color.
Size each nail before you glue anything, and if you're between sizes go up rather than down, since a nail wider than your bed lifts at the sides. Push back the cuticle, buff the shine off the natural nail and wipe with remover so the surface is clean and dry. Glue for durability, adhesive tabs if you want them off the same evening. Press and hold each one properly rather than tapping it on.
Soak, do not pry. Acetone on a cotton pad held against the nail, or a soak-off, gives the glue time to release. Prying a press-on off takes a layer of natural nail with it, and doing that repeatedly is what leaves nails thin and flexible. A cuticle oil afterward helps the nail recover between sets.
Our Warren store is at 27750 Van Dyke Ave in the Majestic Plaza shopping center, between 11 Mile and 12 Mile. It's open until 9 PM Monday through Saturday and 6:30 PM on Sunday, which makes it the usual evening stop for Warren, Center Line, Sterling Heights and the Oakland County suburbs off I-696. Van Dyke gets you there from the south, and the I-696 Van Dyke exit from the east or west.
