Welcome back to my blog!

Today I want to tell you some tricks that maybe not everyone knows about the nail world!

Let’s start!

Nail polish removal with glitter

To add a bright touch to polishes, the ones studded with glitter are often used, which make a beautiful effect.

The problem arises while removing it.

We spend minutes rubbing with the cotton pad and acetone but the glitters remain attached as if they were glued with cement.

What to do then?

The method I use in these cases is to place the cotton pad on the nail, without rubbing it. Leave it there for about 5 minutes and then press it lightly to remove it.

This pack should facilitate the removal of the much loved but agonized glitter.

After removing everything, apply cuticle oil to moisturize the skin and nail.

If you want there are also glitter polishes that have a peel-off base, that lift up, so as to avoid problems during removal.

Polish lasting

When I applied polish on me people asked me if it was gel, seeing the luster but above all the duration.

In recent years, I often asked people how they applied nail polish and simply replied that they made two coats of color and that’s it.

For an optimal duration of simple polish, it is enough to have a base and a top coat.

I prefer separate bases and top coats instead of all in one.

Applying the base we prepare the nail, leveling it but above all giving it a base on which to cling.

After that apply two thin layers of color and make it dry at each step.

Furthermore, to avoid chipping, it is good to seal the polish to the free edge.

After drying the color, apply a well-laid layer of top coat and you’re done.

Maybe these steps can be obvious, but as I said before, not many people know that the base and the sealant greatly increase the lasting.

I also want to specify that the duration depends on the lifestyle of the people, and also on the underlying nails.

Brush cleaning

Now let’s talk about gel.

In order to use brushes to create layers of colors or decorations, we are forced to immerse them in the jar.

Once finished we use a paper towel to remove the color and the brush seems apparently clean.

But when we then immerse it in another color, we see that the previous one tends to come out.

So how do we get a paint to release completely from a brush?

You can buy the brush cleaner, a product specifically designed for cleaning brushes.

Or simply put on a surface a little bit of transparent gel or a top coat and rub the brush. Obviously you will see the various colors come out. Once the top coat is dirty, we dry the brush and repeat these steps until the top coat remains transparent.

These are the first tricks that I decided to offer you, the second part will be released soon.
