Welcome to our educational blog, where we’ll explore the importance of properly preparing your natural nails before applying LEGACY’s Beyond Gel products and our covers! A thorough preparation routine ensures not only a smooth and long-lasting application but also promotes the long-term health of your nails.
Why is Preparation Important?
1. Adhesion and Durability:
Proper preparation of natural nails is key to ensuring that Beyond Gel adheres evenly and lasts. Removing grease and moisture from the nails creates an ideal surface for the gel to bond, preventing lifting and extending the manicure’s lifespan.
2. Protection of Natural Nails:
Careful preparation helps protect natural nails from potential damage. LEGACY’s Beyond Gel products are designed to enhance beauty without compromising nail health. Proper preparation minimizes direct contact and the risk of harm.
Steps for Effective Preparation:
1. Cleaning:
Before starting, make sure to clean your nails thoroughly to remove any residue from previous polish, oils, or creams. Use a gentle, acetone-free polish remover for the best results.
2. Cutting and Filing:
Adjust the length of your nails according to your preference and file gently to shape them. Remember to follow the natural shape of your nails for a more aesthetic result.
3. Cuticles:
Soften cuticles with a cuticle softener and use an orange stick or cuticle pusher to gently push them back. Don’t forget to moisturize your cuticles to keep them healthy.
4. Disinfection:
Disinfect your nails with a mild disinfectant to eliminate any bacteria or germs. Hygiene is crucial to prevent infections.
5. Protective Base:
Apply a thin layer of protective base before using Beyond Gel products. This will provide an additional layer of protection and enhance adhesion.
6. Complete Drying:
Ensure each applied layer is completely dry before proceeding with the next. This will guarantee a smooth, blemish-free finish.
