Nail care tips
Nail care tip:
1. Remove any nail polish you might have on your nails using an acetone free nail polish remover.
2. Wash your hands in warm water and with nail brush carefully remove any dirt on or under your nails.
3. Dry off your hands. Apply cuticle remover if needed, wait for it to work its magic and then push down the cuticles using a cuticle stick or an orangestick.
4. Wash your hands again and make sure to remove any excess cuticle remover you might have left on your fingers.
5. Once your hands are dry carefully file your nails, if you have brittle and weak nails make sure to file in the same direction all the time. If your nails are stronger you may not need to. Don’t forget to file the edges of the nails if you have longer nails.
6. Apply olive oil onto each nail, either with a brush or just using your hand. Massage in and let the oil really sink into the nails. This makes my nails much stronger.
7. When the oil is completely sunk in you can apply a normal basecoat and go on to painting your nails however you want.
