7 Tips and Tricks for the Perfect Manicure
5. Filing and shaping
Ensure that your nails are completely dry before you file and shape them. Wet nails are more prone to breakage. Leave your nails at a length that you can manage easily. Unless you can take real good care of your nails, do not have them longer as it will break easily.
6. Base coat
Use a nail color to apply a base coat before you start applying the color you want. This base coat helps maintain your manicure and also adds texture and sheen to the color you will be adding later. One coat is enough to apply the base layer.
7. Dry and hydrate your nails
Repeat the drying and hydrating process again so the paint does not smudge. Hydration is also important as your cuticles tend to get dry after using alcohol based products.
If you have the right things at home, you needn’t visit a salon to get that perfect manicure. You can do it at home yourself and keep changing colors and designs as you please.
