How to do basic nail art at home?
Rose will guide you nails at home through the detailed steps to make the simplest nail design, which is a smooth nail, then with instructions on how to do ombre nails, french nails, cut-out nails, … will be in the next part. Please!
Step 1: Soak your hands/feet in warm water
- Soaking hands and feet in warm water will help soften the excess skin and also soften the dirt and residue on the nails and feet. Facilitates trimming of dead skin around the nail and pushing dead cells on the nail.
- A reasonable soaking time is from 5 to 10 minutes. In particular, if you want to enjoy this moment, add a herbal idea to soak with, creating a relaxing scent as well as good for the body.
Step 2: Trim nails and excess skin
- After the hands and feet have been soaked in warm water, pat dry. Using a nail trimming kit, cut away excess skin, damaged nails, remove stains deep in the corners. Cut and file your nails to your favorite shape. Note that after trimming it evenly, the longer the nail, the more beautiful and easier it is to paint and shape, and the easier it will be to style the nail.
Step 3: Clean cuticle and nail care
- After the nails have been cleaned, trim and file to the shape you want. The next step is to clean the cuticle and apply a coat of conditioner/primer to the cut skin to help clean the nail thoroughly and protect the nail before the next coat of paint. Wait a bit for it to dry!
Step 4: Paint the background
- It is recommended to paint a thin layer on the nail, if it is a gel polish, it must be thinner than the normal polish. During the painting process, do not let the polish stick to the nails or spread to other areas of the skin. Wait for it to dry then go to step 5!
Step 5: Paint color
- Choose a paint color you love, it is revealed that pastel color is the favorite color of “gen Z” youth. Gently sweep on the nail, sweep 2-3 times to get the nail color standard, the most even color. In this first layer, you will see stripes that make the paint color uneven and annoying. However, this is normal and absolutely do not immediately apply the second layer to treat those stripes. This will cause the paint to clump and look even worse. After finishing the first coat, continue to wait for the paint to dry.
- Same goes for gel polish, after applying the first coat, put the nail under the UV lamp for 60-90 seconds to let the gel layer dry.
- When painting, the hand must be painted firmly, not shaking, not focusing on shaking in one place, making the nails thick and unnatural.
Step 6: Coating
- This is a layer that helps protect the paint color from fading and keeps the paint sticking longer. After the nails are dry, apply a coat of topcoat to the entire nail, including the fingertips and should only apply 1 coat and then let it dry completely.
- For gel polish, after coating, put your hands in UV light for 60s to completely dry the paint.
Step 7: Clean up any remaining paint stains
- Check for any paint stains on the outside of the nail or the skin around the nail., using a cotton ball or cotton swab, soak the isopropyl alcohol solution and gently wipe away any remaining residue. Be careful not to lose the polish on your nails!
Step 8: Finish the job with a protective layer of cuticle oil
- Apply a layer of cuticle oil to the skin around the nail to make the nail stronger and stronger.
