Step 4: So that the painting runs smoothly
For a smooth nail surface provides a special suede pillow or a polishing file. Because the smoother the nails, the longer the paint will last.
Step 5: Extra care
Brittle fingernails still need some care, for example a massage with a nail oil or a nail cream. The caring with many vitamins. But then wait a few hours with the painting, because the oily surface does not mix well with nail polish, it peels off quickly.
