Permanent nails are one of the most popular beauty rituals among women. If you want to save some money and have the necessary tools, you can do this type of manicure at home in very little time. Below, we'll tell you how step by step.
How to do permanent nails step by step
The process of doing a pedicure or permanent manicure at home is not as difficult as we think, as long as you have everything you need. Make sure you have the following utensils before you start: permanent nail polish in the color or colors you like the most (if you don't have any, you can use normal or semi-permanent nail polish), gel primer, top coat, cuticle cutters, nail clippers, file, UV light lamp, pure acetone, an orange stick and disinfectant cleaner. You can also include a moisturizing polish or a cuticle moisturizer in your kit.
Before starting your permanent manicure, your nails may have been painted, so you should remove the current polish using a cotton ball moistened with pure acetone. Rub it over the surface until your natural nail can be seen.
Steps to make permanent nails:
- Soak your nails in a container with water for 2 minutes. This will soften the cuticle and make it much easier to clean them.
- Next, dry your hands and proceed to clean the cuticle area using the orange stick and with the help of the cuticle cutter, remove the excess.
- Cut your nails and file them to the desired size and shape. When you're done, use the soft side of the file to smooth the surface of the nail.
- Clean your nails with a disinfectant cleanser to remove all traces of dirt.
- With clean nails, apply a coat of gel primer (or base coat) to each nail. Depending on how thick you want to achieve, you can apply a second coat.
- Now it's time to apply your permanent nail polish. You can use any technique you like best (and that you know how to do), such as gradient-effect nails or geometric shapes in different colors—it's your choice!
- After applying the polish to one hand, turn on the UV lamp and place it under the UV light for 1 minute until the polish dries. When finished, repeat the process with the other hand.
- If you feel you need to apply a second coat of permanent polish, do so and repeat the drying process with the UV light.
- To finish, apply a layer of glossy top coat and place your nails under the UV light again.
And that's how easy it is to give yourself a permanent manicure! With the right nail kit and all the necessary tools, you'll become an expert at this beauty technique in no time. Soon you'll be able to experiment with more elaborate designs.
How long do permanent nails last?
One of the benefits of permanent nails is that they can last intact for several weeks. However, it should be noted that if you get a manicure semi-permanent with a semi-permanent polish, the result may last much less.
For this reason, it is worth buying a good quality permanent polish that will allow you to make your nails ideal and enjoy them for 3 or 4 weeks. In addition, if you include a good top coat in your manicure, the result will be much better and you will be able to enjoy your nails without fear of the polish being damaged.
