Keeping your nails gleaming all week isn't hard. Prepping the nail correctly and applying the polish precisely is key.Nail prep:
- Remove all non-living cuticle from the nail plate using a cuticle remover and an orange wood stick.
- Cleanse the plate with a pure soap like ivory liquid soap and a soft nail brush.
- Remove moisture with an acetone-based nail cleaner.
Polish application:
- Apply a very thin coat of base coat to nails and let it dry.
- Thin out nail colour by rolling the bottle between the palms of your hands and apply one thin, translucent coat to nails. Let dry.
- Apply a second thin coat of colour to nails for full coverage. Let it dry.
- Seal with top coat and let dry. Wait for a full 10 minutes after application before engaging your hands in any activity. This will help create a hard, protective and high-shine manicure that will last for days.
Maintenance:
- Apply cuticle oil to the cuticles and sides of nails every night before bedtime to keep the manicure and nail in top condition.
