SO here’s the insider tips on how to prep your nails for your next mani:
• Exfoliate skin. Get rid of any dead and dull skin cells by exfoliating. You can make your own exfoliant by mixing olive oil with sugar or salt.
• Maintain cuticles. To keep your cuticles in tip top shape, rub olive oil into your cuticle beds. This will keep them moisturised and super-soft.
• Remove dry skin. Invest in a pair of cuticle clippers and {gently} get rid of any hangnails and/or dry skin.
• Add major moisture. Give your hands extra TLC by massaging in a rich hand cream, then wrapping in a warm/hot damp towel.
• Wipe nails. Remove any excess oil from the nail by wiping the nail with some polish remover before you apply polish {otherwise it won’t adhere properly}.
