Preparing your kit
To prepare your nails, you need a basic nail kit that should contain pliers, a cuticle spatula and a nail file.
Start by removing the old nail polish if you have it, always opt for nail polish remover instead of acetone, as it harms the nail less. After removing the nail polish, let your nails soak in water to facilitate the care of the cuticles, when you feel that it is already flexible, you need to gently push the cuticles and remove the excess. Many people prefer to completely remove the cuticles, but they serve to protect the nail, so it’s up to you to remove everything or just the excess. It is necessary to remember that if you act on cuts, you need to disinfect well to avoid inflammation and future pain.
Then you can adjust the size and shape of the nail little by little with the nail if you prefer and then do a hydration on the nails and cuticles to prepare for the enamelling.
Always remember to polish your nails to get a smooth base that will leave your nail polish perfect.
Enamelling
Always start painting your nails using a clear base coat. The base helps to prevent the enamel from staining the nail and becoming a more time-consuming process at the time of removal. After the foundation is dry, you can apply it to your desired color. Always make thin coats and wait for them to be completely dry before applying the next coat, to avoid bubbles and a bad finish.
After enameling, use a base again to improve the duration of the enamel. There are gel top coats that make the enamel last up to 15 days.
