Vegan nail polish also needs to be applied to your fingers using the best techniques. This is the only way to get the best shine and durability. We'll show you how to apply vegan nail polish correctly, step by step.
How to paint your nails perfectly:
- Preparing nails
You should remove the old nail polish very carefully. It is best to use a nail polish remover that does not contain aggressive acetone, such as the LIA eco-friendly remover . This will protect the nail plate. Wash your hands well with soap afterwards. This will ensure that the new nail polish stays on perfectly. This means that all traces of grease and residue from the old nail polish have been removed. This will prevent any unevenness in the fresh polish later on.
- shaping nails
Before painting your nails, cut them to the length you want. Then file your nails into your favorite shape. A gentle glass file is recommended for this. Then care for your cuticles. Either remove them with a special peeling or a cuticle remover. You can also simply push them back.
Speaking of nail shape: particularly narrow nails appear wider when filed squarely. Round-filed nails look narrower.
- Apply base coat
The so-called base coat not only prevents the polish from rubbing off on the nails. It also helps you apply the polish evenly by strengthening the nails and smoothing out any small bumps. If you have brittle nails or nails with grooves, you can use a nail hardener as a base coat. Apply your base coat in a thin layer evenly and in one go from the cuticle to the tip. Start in the middle of the nail. Then follow the edges.
- Applying colored varnish
Make sure you give the base coat a quarter of an hour to dry properly. Please don't blow on it to speed it up. For an even result, you shouldn't move your hands or touch anything. Then shake your nail polish before use and apply it thinly in two coats. You need to give each coat of polish enough time to dry.
The right brush stroke is crucial for the perfect result. Here, too, you start in the middle of the nail. Then the edges follow. Don't forget to wipe the brush well on the edge of the bottle so that you don't apply the layers too thickly.
- Apply top coat
With the top coat, your colored nail polish will last longer because it forms a protective layer against small scratches and chipping. It also provides a shiny finish.
