Before you apply a new color and especially before
applying a transparent nailpolish, always make sure your nails are clean! Cause
a clean base is what you need if you like to polish your nails properly, shiny
and with a good coverage. Besides that, it looks just very ugly if you can see
bits and pieces of your old colour through your new colour. It simply gives your
nails a dirty look and that’s not what you want!
First of all, get rid of your old nailpolish by using
a nailpolish remover. From whichever brand you want! Don’t spend money on an
expensive one! It’s simply not necessary.
After that a good nail file will help you to get rid
of the last dirty bits and pieces under your nails. And of course with the nail
file you can gently shape the edges quickly.
When I’m satisfied with my cleaned nails, I always do
an extra, I use a nail brush. Cause I really like very neat nails! Maybe I’m to
freaky on this ;-) but at least my nails always looking clean and neat. Besides
that, they didn’t invent nail brushes for nothing… I always keep it simple, because
I believe that the simplest things have the best effects. And we are not trying
to fly to heaven here, but we just want to have proper clean and neat nails. So
I use a nail brush and a nice smelling shower gel or soap to rinse off all the
last bits and pieces. And that’s the finishing touch which makes my nails ready
for a new experiment. And the good thing is, after using a shower gel to clean
your nails, your nails are not that dried out anymore. Because the nailpolish
remover is pretty aggressive stuff for your nails and dries them out. And after
the nail brush, shower gel treatment, the nails are back on the healthy track
again and will also shine a little bit.
So, clean your nails and be shiny!
See u next time!
