Tips For Your Best Summer Nails
Now that you’ve picked out your favorite color, follow these simple steps for a flawless manicure at home:
1. File
Always file your nails in one direction to prevent any damage. Starting on one side, file your nails into the desired shape from the outside corner towards the middle of the nail. Repeat on the other side.
2. Prep Your Nails
Prep your nails by applying one coat of base coat to prolong your mani, prevent staining, and even help with any special concerns you may have (for example, use a nail-strengthening base coat or a ridge filler).
3. Apply Polish
Apply 2- 3 thin coats from the top of the nail bed to the tip.
4. Seal Color
Seal and protect your nail color with a topcoat. Choose from quick-drying, high shine, or even matte formulations.
5. Moisturize Nails
When nails are completely dry, moisturize hands and soften cuticles by gently massaging lotion or oil into hands and nails.
