What do you need for beautifully painted nails?
- Nail polish remover
- base coat
- Color nail polish
- top coat
- Dry drops or Fast dry spray
How to paint your nails follow these seteps:
- First, clean your nails with a nail polish remover , even if you don’t have any nail polish on your nails. This removes any oily layer, so that your nail polish adheres better later.
- Get your base coat.
- Paint all your nails in the base coat. This ensures that the color of the nail polish does not soak into your nails. And your nail polish will stay on better.
- Open the bottle of colored nail polish.
- There is a brush on it. There should not be a large drop hanging from this brush, so turn the brush into the opening of the bottle. (Don’t smear it on the edge because then you won’t be able to open the bottle over time and it will become a mess.
- Place the brush on the nail plate about 3 mm from the cuticle.
- Slide the brush 2 mm towards the cuticle and then pull it in the opposite direction towards the nail tip. Do this 3 times so that the whole nail is nicely painted.
- Let the nail polish harden a little.
- Now apply the top coat on all nails.
- Spray it off with a Fast dry spray or use dry drops, this will harden the nail polish a little faster and damage it a little less quickly.
Give it time to really harden!
