#Nail Polish Tips; How to prepare your nails for painting

Hey everybody! Here's the first entry for the blog series "Nail polish tips". Do you struggle with prepping your nails for painting? And when I say "struggle" when getting ready to paint them, I mean that way you think your nails or hands aren't looking all that good and you think sloppy looking nail polish is what's going to happen that it will just look worst? Then try these products! <'U'>;

• SALLY HANSEN Instant Cuticle Remover 
• NUTRA NAIL STRENGTHENER with Green Tea Antioxidants 
• SALLY HANSEN nail file (7 step nail file and buffer)
• SUAVE NATURALS Body Lotion
• SALLY HANSEN Cuticle Massage Cream

If you want your nails to look good before and after you paint them, it's better use these steps 1 to 3 days before so later your nails will already be prepped for painting

1. If you're hands are looking dry, it's better to apply lotion before and after painting your nails. I suggest  SUAVE NATURALS Body Lotion scent "Sweet Pea and Violet". TIP; All you need is a thin layer of lotion on your hands and it also works as an all-over moisturizer! 
2. To fix your cuticles, use SALLY HANSEN's Instant Cuticle Remover. But DO NOT push your cuticles in or scrape them away! Cuticle remover actually works better for repairing your cuticles than getting rid of them and pushing them into finger. TIP; I don't recommend pushing your cuticles in or scraping them off. You may think it helps your nails look better and more polished, but it causes bad damaged and makes them look worse.
3. Massage your cuticles with SALLY HANSEN's Cuticle Massage Cream to strengthen your cuticles as well as well as help prevent hang nails. TIP; Apply a thin layer on the surface of your nail and lightly massage for up to 10 seconds on each nail, making sure to massage the sides too.
4. Use SALLY HANSEN's 7 side nail buffer. Follow every step until you get to #6 and #7. TIP; instead of keeping the file on the nail and moving it left and right, try a more gentle motion. Smooth your nail with light strokes without filing too much and thinning it.
5. When using SALLY HANSEN's Nail Strengthener with Green Tea Antioxidants, all you need to do is apply 1 thin coat. TIP; When using nail strengthener, try to cover all of the nail excepts for the cuticles.

And when you're ready to take off your Nail strengthener, I recommend using STUDIO 35 BEAUTY's Nourishing Nail Polish Remover (With Vitamin E for natural nails.). TIP; When taking off Nail Strengthening nail polish, swipe it off starting from the bottom of the nail and work your way up slowly.
And that's how to prepare your nails for painting! I'll be blogging more soon! <'U'>
