FAQ About Nail Art
How do I prepare my nails for nail art?
Proper preparation of the nails is crucial for a successful nail art application. Here are the steps to follow:
Clean your nails thoroughly: Use nail polish remover to remove any existing nail polish and clean your nails with soap and water. This will help to remove any dirt, oil, or residue that may prevent the nail polish from adhering to your nails.
Trim and shape your nails: Use a nail clipper and a nail file to trim and shape your nails to your desired length and shape.
Push back your cuticles: Use a cuticle pusher or a wooden stick to gently push back your cuticles. This will help to create a smooth surface for the nail polish to adhere to and prevent any polish from getting on your skin.
Buff your nails: Use a buffer to gently buff the surface of your nails. This will help to remove any ridges and create a smooth surface for the nail polish.
Apply a base coat: Apply a thin layer of base coat to your nails. This will help to protect your nails from staining and create a smooth surface for the nail polish to adhere to.
After preparing your nails, you can start applying your desired nail art design.
