Manicure at home: the 4 fundamental steps
- The first thing to do is remove the cuticle. To do it easily, we recommend moistening the area before. You should use an orange stick to "drag" the cuticles back, from the top to the end of the nail bed. Softly! When you're done, apply a little moisturizer and let it dry.
- The second step is to apply a base to protect the nail from the pigments of the enamels, prevent the nail from staining and fill in stretch marks.
- The third step consists of applying the necessary layers of enamel , it recommends at least two layers to obtain a good result and a homogeneous color. It is very important to let each coat dry very well before applying the next.
- Finally, a top coat or finishing gloss is applied to seal the manicure and increase the duration of the nail polish.
Keep in mind that to get a perfect manicure at home, you must take into account a few more things …
- It is important to choose quality nail polish.
- Let your nails rest between manicures for 2-3 days so they can breathe.
- Do not file both ways, this way you will only manage to break our nail in layers. It should be filed in only one direction and with a soft file.
- Use mild, ketone-free nail polish remover.
- Accompany the manicure of some treatments to complete the ritual of nail care: products for dehydrated nails, cuticle oils, growth stimulators …
