Step-by-Step Routine:
- Start by shaping your nails with a file. Choose a shape that suits your style, whether it’s a classic oval, elegant almond, or modern square.
- Buff the nail surface gently to create a smooth canvas. This step ensures an even application and helps the polish adhere better.
- Push back your cuticles using a cuticle pusher. Be gentle to avoid any damage.
- Apply cuticle oil to moisturize and nourish the nail bed.
- Clean your nails with nail polish remover to remove any oils or residue.
- Apply a thin layer of base coat to protect your nails and create a smooth base for the color.
- Choose a soft, neutral shade like a sheer nude or light pink. Apply a thin coat, ensuring an even application. Allow it to dry completely.
- Add a second coat for a more opaque finish, if desired. Be careful not to overload the brush to prevent bubbling.
- Seal your design with a top coat to add shine and protect the color. This step also helps prevent chipping.
- If using gel polish, cure your nails under a UV lamp according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Clean up any polish mistakes with a small cotton pad dipped in nail polish remover.
- Finish by massaging cuticle oil into your nails and cuticles to keep them healthy and hydrated.
