- If you have burrs around the nail, take the tweezers and cut them. To pull back the skin is not necessary, just tightly press the tool against the skin and try to cut the burr "under the root";
- Now we lubricate the nail and the skin around it with oil containing soothing ingredients and vitamins. We wait for about ten minutes, until the oil is absorbed;
- We rinse our hands with running water, wipe them, apply them with a nourishing cream;
- Again, take the liquid for removing the varnish and treat it every nail to degrease;
- We put the base under the varnish, we wait for complete drying;
- We take a covering of a pastel shade and proceed toapplication. In order for the varnish to lie flat, it is necessary to carefully remove its excess from the edge of the bottle, then press the brush to the edge of the nail so that it lies "fan." Without lifting the brushes, lower it to the base, and then start to move upward, trying to evenly distribute the varnish on the surface;
- If you have stained the skin around the nail, use a special corrector. Dip it into the nail polish remover and remove all "bloopers";
