How to Prep Your Nails For a Manicure: A Complete Guide
Do this due diligence before you paint your nails for long-lasting results:
- Wash or sanitize your hands to remove all traces of dirt and bacteria from your nails and prevent the risk of infection.
- Push your cuticles back and trim away dead skin cells. Swipe the nails with a cotton pad for a clean finish. This will provide a smoother and cleaner surface area for you to work on and keep paint from adhering to your cuticles.
- File your nails to create the perfect coffin shape using an emery board, going from the side to the center. And then buffer them to create a smooth finish. Use a gentle hand during this process. Otherwise, you’ll chip away too much, and it can make your nails too thin, making them prone to splitting and breaking.
- Use a cleanser wipe dipped in acetone-free nail polish remover to remove any traces of dust and oil; it will help the polish adhere properly.
- Roll your nail polish bottle in your hand like Play-Doh to mix the paint evenly. This prevents the risk of transferring air bubbles to your nails, which is one of the leading causes of a poor nail job that results in chipping.
And that’s it; you’re all set to rock your unique nail art!
