At Easy Nails, we believe that beautiful nails are not just a fashionable accessory but also a way to express your personality and style. Over the past few years, hybrid manicures have captured the hearts of women worldwide, becoming one of the most popular nail styling methods. It’s no surprise – hybrid combines the durability of gel with the natural look of polish, ensuring nails look impeccable for up to three weeks. Moreover, its application, though precise, is quite simple – just a few basic products and a bit of practice are needed to enjoy a professional effect in the comfort of your home. It’s the perfect solution for those who value convenience, aesthetics, and durability. We decided to share our knowledge about the proper application of nail polish with you. Although it may seem like a simple task, the right technique and a little practice can significantly improve the appearance and longevity of a manicure.
Preparation is key
Before reaching for the polish, make sure your nails are clean and degreased. Use a cleaner and a file to remove any impurities and mattify the nail plate surface. This will help the polish adhere better and extend the durability of the manicure. Are you already using these preparatory steps?
Application technique
Start by applying a base coat and curing it; this will protect your nails from discoloration and extend the color’s durability. Then apply the first thin layer of polish, starting from the center of the nail and gently spreading the color towards the edges and cuticles. Don’t forget to brush the free edge of the nail! Avoid applying too thick a layer, as this may cause the polish to wrinkle.
Apply a second layer to achieve full, intense coverage. Remember to apply each layer in the same direction as the previous one. This will help avoid streaks and unevenness. According to our experience, this technique provides the best results. You can also use a small brush to even out areas near the cuticles and nail folds.
Finishing and care
Finally, apply a layer of top coat to secure the color and add shine to your nails. The top coat also helps extend the longevity of the manicure and prevent chipping. If you care about a long-lasting, beautiful effect, it’s worth investing in high-quality products. After curing, apply cuticle oil and enjoy a beautiful manicure for many weeks!
We hope that our tips will be useful to you and help you achieve the perfect, long-lasting manicure. Remember that at Easy Nails, you can always count on expert advice and top-quality products if you decide to have a manicure done in our salon. See you soon!
