Beautifying your hands is not just about grabbing a bottle of polish and decorating your nails in a hurry. Nail art professionals are unanimous: to achieve a good manicure, you must take good care of your fingers beforehand. Today, the nail supplies expert Maryton will tell you how to apply your nail polish like a real beautician.

Condition your nails

When they are regularly smothered by polish, your nails must be nourished. File your nails to even them out but avoid going back and forth and focus on simple gestures. This will prevent any splitting. Also remember to apply a transparent base to your nails to form a protective barrier.

Apply your nail polish following very specific steps

To succeed in your manicure, respect the notion of time: take a good half hour to apply your nail polish to make yourself beautiful. Dip the brush in the product, squeeze out one end and place it in the middle of the nail in order to go up the finger as much as possible. Continue along the sides of the nail, avoiding the epidermis and cuticles.

Since the true color of a varnish is revealed in two layers, repeat the operation to strengthen the hold of the varnish.

Finish off brilliantly

Once your varnish is applied, the final step looms. Let the product dry for at least a few minutes. You can then dip your hands in a container of cold water to neutralize the agents in the varnish and set it faster. Don’t forget the top coat, the last layer of clear varnish to apply. This can add shine or reinforce the matte effect of the varnish. It’s up to you to choose what you prefer!
