Party Prep for Starting off the New Year with Picture-Perfect Nails
The New Year is all about a fresh start. Don’t leave your nails behind! Ensuring your nails are properly prepared will make your manicure look professional and ensure it outlives the party. Here are quick tips to help you achieve delightful results.
Assemble Your Manicure Tools
- Clippers, fine-grit nail file, and buffer block
- Cuticle pusher, cuticle remover cream, and cuticle oil
- Polish remover and lint-free nail wipes
- Ridge filler, if needed
Start with a Clean Slate
Completely remove the old polish. For those wearing gels, rough up the polish's surface using a coarse-grit file. This isn't about filing the nail but ensuring the acetone can work efficiently when soaking off the gel.
Shape and Remove Shine
Once your nails are polish-free and dry, clip and shape them with a fine-grit (180-240) file. Then, use a fine-grit buffer block to take off the natural shine. Remember to use a light hand because you're improving polish adhesion, not thinning the nails.
Care for Your Cuticles
With your nails shaped, turn your attention to the cuticles. Gently push them back. If they're particularly stubborn, a cuticle softener cream will help. Just follow the directions and rinse well afterward.
Cleanse
Post-cuticle care, wipe the nail plates with alcohol or acetone on a lint-free wipe to ensure the nails are free from dust and oil.
Oopsie: The polish is peeling! It’s probably because you’ve left natural oil on your nails, painted the cuticles, or bypassed the buffing. Please don't skip these steps. The base coat also helps!
Lay the Foundation and Paint
Brush on a thin layer of your chosen base coat and let it dry or cure it. Use ridge filler to smooth bumpy nails instead of filing them flat. With the base coat set, apply your chosen festive polish. Try two coats for extra depth and longevity.
Top Coat and Cuticle Oil
Complete your manicure with a glossy top coat to lock in the color and add that extra shine. Once everything has set, pamper your fingertips with cuticle oil. Then, apply the oil often for strong nails, healthy skin, and a glamorous manicure!
