Having a perfect manicure is essential if you want spectacular, healthy nails. Plus, achieving this is much easier than you think if you do it right. Want to know how? These four steps will help you do your own manicure and achieve professional results:
- Remove the previous polish well!
It's essential to completely remove any previously used polish. If any color remains on your nails, your fingers may become stained and the color of the new polish will look distorted.
It's also very important to gently remove the polish with a cotton ball and a little nail polish remover, always moving the paint upwards and not sideways to avoid smudging.
- File and moisturize your nails
Once your nails are clean, you need to treat and moisturize them thoroughly before applying the polish. File your nails to give them the desired shape and even out their length.
Next, soak your nails in warm water for a couple of minutes (no longer, as this may soften the nail). Then, dry them thoroughly and hydrate them with Lola Barcelona's Top Coat Treatment . Not only will this strengthen and add durability to your nails, but it will also deeply hydrate them thanks to its bamboo extract.
- Removes cuticles and blemishes
It's vital not to cut your cuticles, as they protect the edges of your nails from possible infection. Therefore, you should gently remove them using a manicure spatula, pushing them toward the edge. You can also remove dead skin, better known as "hangnails," with the help of manicure nippers. Be very careful, though, to avoid injury.
To give them extra strength and durability, Lola Barcelona's Base Coat Treatment will help your nails look healthy and beautiful before applying polish.
- Apply the polish you like the most
Finally, you can decorate your nails with any color you like best. However, before using any polish, you need to apply a protective layer that also helps the polish last longer. For this, Lola Barcelona's Cotton Ridge Filler Treatment is the best option. It will smooth your nails and eliminate any irregularities and ridges, giving them a perfect look.
Once your nails are properly protected... it's time to paint! Lola Barcelona nail polishes offer a wide range of colors so you can choose the one that suits you best. Best of all, they're free of the eight most common toxins found in nail polishes. In addition to looking beautiful, your nails will always be well-cared for!
