Nail design with dots

• UV lamp or LED lamp;
• buff;
• cuticle remover;
• orange stick;

The process of creating a beautiful dot manicure with a dots brush:

1. The first thing to do is, of course, shape the nails with a nail file.
2. Then you need to align the edges of the nail and carefully clean it from dust. The main thing to pay attention to before applying gel polish is to remove the cuticle from the nail plate with an orange stick or a cuticle remover.
3. It is necessary to remove the upper keratin shell from the nail plate, for this you can use a buff of medium abrasiveness.
4. After that, it is necessary to apply a primer so that the base is firmly fixed on the nails. Wait for the primer to dry, usually about 1 minute. Then apply foundation. The base smoothes the surface of the nail, masks its imperfections and ensures uniform application of gel polish. The base is applied in a thin layer across the entire width of the nail plate. After applying the base, dry the nail under the lamp;
5. Cover your nails with the chosen color of gel polish and dry it in a lamp.
