Now that you’ve worked on the manicure and the pedicure it’s time to polish those beauties.

We are all so used to having our nails done for us that we are out of practice when it comes to polishing. So here is a step-by-step to help you along.

Step1:

Start off with a clean manicured nail.

Make sure the nail plate is oil free by wiping with a non acetone polish remover.

Step 2:

Apply your base coat or ridge filler coating the whole nail plate & the free edge.

This process is very important as it prevents the natural nail from staining especially when using darker colours. It also prevents chipping and makes for a more professional finish.
