3. Base Coat Application and Its Importance
Advertisement
Your manicure's basis is a great base coat, hence it is never to be skipped.Start with absolutely clean, dry nails and lay a thin, uniform base coat from the cuticle to the free edge.Whether your particular needs call for strengthening, ridge filling, or staining prevention, select a base coat made for those purposes.Before starting color application, let the base coat dry totally.A rubberized base coat can help your natural nail and polish bind better, so increasing their lifetime.Running the brush horizontally across the tip will help you to especially seal the free edge of your nails.This method, sometimes referred to as "capping," prolongs the life of your manicure and helps stop chipping.Knowing the chemistry of base coats enables you to select the appropriate product for your particular nail type and intended result.
