Apply a base coat
Prepping Your Nails with a Base Coat:
- Cleanse Nails:Begin by ensuring your nails are clean and free from any oils or residues. Remove old polish and shape your nails as desired.
- Gather Supplies:Collect your chosen base coat, a flat surface for application, and a steady hand.
- Apply Thin Layer:Dip the brush into the base coat and wipe off excess on the bottle’s rim. Apply a thin, even layer starting at the base of the nail and extending to the tip. Ensure full coverage without globs or streaks.
- Seal Edges:Pay extra attention to sealing the edges of each nail to prevent chipping and enhance polish adherence.
- Allow to Dry:Let the base coat dry compley before moving on to your chosen nail color. This ensures a smooth foundation for flawless polish application.
Applying a base coat not only promotes longer-lasting nail color but also protects your nails from potential staining. It’s a simple yet crucial step in achieving a professional-looking and durable manicure.
