Manicure Tips
Whenever you do your own manicure I always recommend a few steps before you start painting.
1. Trim and file your nails. These nail files are THE BEST. They make your nails feel so smooth.
2. Clean up your cuticles. This cuticle remover is a little pricey but it works so incredibly well. I like to use these push sticks. *Never cut your cuticles it leads to hangnails and possibly infection.
3. Buff your nail plate to smooth the surface of your nails. This buffer is the best option.
4. Wash your hands and wipe with acetone or alcohol. This ensures that there is no remaining oil left on your nails that will get in the way of your manicure lasting as long as possible.
5. Apply base coat. Some of the brands below require specific pre-polish steps- I’ll flag them so you are aware.
6. Apply a coat of polish and wait a few minutes for it to dry before applying the next coat. Repeat until you get the coverage you like.
7. Apply top coat and for the best result brush it over the edge of your nail to ensure everything stays as long as possible.
8. Apply cuticle oil or serum as needed. I like to apply it before bed.
Bonus: If you have thin/ weak/ peely nails this nail hardener helps SO MUCH!
