Let's also take care of our natural nails

I recently found your website.Very interesting.:)

I'd like to add a few tips of my own, which I hope will also be of interest to other estheticians.The topic I want to write about is taking care of natural nails.

Not everyone wants to get extensions or artificial nails right away.In my opinion, some women need time to decide to take that step.My clients gradually gained confidence in professional nail care.

I recommended that my new clients, who haven't had gel or acrylic nail extensions before, first take care of what they already have.Natural tiles can also look nice and attractive, provided they are installed properly..Over time, the client gains confidence and will suggest on her own that we extend her nails with gel or acrylic.So let’s try to be good advisors to our clients, because in the long run it will definitely pay off, bring us a lot of satisfaction, and—above all—help us build loyalty among the clients who, after all, are our livelihood..

And now, here are a few tips from me:

To start, I conduct a brief interview with the client to understand her expectations.
After that, please wash your hands with antibacterial soap.
If a client has nail polish on her nails, I remove it with acetone-free nail polish remover.Some nail polish removers can dry out the skin and nails too much, which is why I often use acetone.I add this nail oil to it: and that's it.10% pure water.
If I determine that a client has dry skin on her hands, I'll massage a moisturizing cream and oil into her skin.
I also recommend a short, 3- to 4-minute bath in water without soap.After a quick soak, the nails are only slightly damp.It's easier to cut and file them now.I use a nail clipper and a fine-grit 180-grit nail file for this.
I apply cuticle softener to my cuticles .I wipe off the liquid after about.2 minutes in clean water.A spray bottle and a brush come in handy.
With rosewood sticks I peel off the skins.
Next, I'll massage some vitamin E lotion into the skin of my hands.
Before I start applying the polish, my nails and cuticles must be thoroughly cleaned.I don't use nail polish remover because it makes the nail plate too oily, and the polish might chip off quickly.I use a lint-free cotton pad , clean water, and a dry rosewood stick.
Of course, I start by applying a base coat , but if the nail plate is uneven, I use Sleek.
For optimal coverage, I apply two thin coats of nail polish in the color of my choice.Then I apply a gloss top coat , and for thin nails, I use a UV top coat.
At the end of each session, I always recommend that my client purchase the moisturizing cream and body oil for daily use.The oil is great; it even penetrates the varnish and nourishes the nail plate and nail bed.

I hope my advice is helpful to others.
Let's help each other!
