Are you ready to start getting professional-looking nails at home? If so, then follow our step-by-step process below.
Step-by-Step Procedure:
Before we start, you have to prepare your materials:
- Nail file
- Base coat
- Nail polish
- Clear top coat
- Additional - Acetone, Tape, Cotton and toothpick or orange wood stick
-
If you have previously manicured nails, make sure to clean them first and remove old nail polish with acetone.
-
Shape your nails
- Using a nail file, gently shape the free edge or side of your nails.
Note:
File your nails in one direction instead of moving the file back and forth to help promote a healthy nail growth.
-
Wipe away any dust or debris and apply a base coat:
Tip: Two thinner coats are better than one thick coat.
-
Choose your desired Nail polish and gently apply it in three strokes.
3 Stroke Method:
Start by painting down the middle of your nail, then down the right side, and then down the left side.
-
Once Dry, Add a second coat of nail polish using the same three stroke method.
-
Clean up the excess polish. Use acetone, cotton and toothpick or orange wood stick to clean up any excess polish or smudges
TIP:
To avoid difficulties cleaning up smudges after painting your nails, prepare your skin and cuticles with Latex Adhesive Nail Tapes.
If you don't have any acetone, cotton and a toothpick or orange wood stick, you can use tape to pull off any excess polish.
-
Apply a topcoat and add a little cuticle oil or any type of skin moisturizing oil on your cuticle area to finish the manicure.
