How do you ensure a magnificent manicure? It’s all in the base coat!
We all adore lovely hands. Soft skin, smooth palms and beautiful fingernails make for happy hands. Whether you prefer your nails long or short, rounded or boxed, a manicure and polish procedure is a wonderful luxury.
Colorful nails and nail art are fun and easy to do. When painting the nails, the most important process for a fabulous finish is applying a base coat. A clear base coat sets the foundation for a long-lasting, successful manicure.
The Benefits of Applying a Clear Basecoat:
- Base Coats Make Your Manicure Last Longer: Base coats contain an extra dose of cellulose chemicals that help the polish stick to the fingernail. The base coat also sticks to the polish applied over the base coat, which helps eliminate chips and peeling.
- Base Coats Prevent the Polish from Staining the Nails: Have you ever removed nail polish only to find remnants of the color staining your nails? This is especially true with darker colors, such as red and blue. A base coat will solve this problem. Also, if you skip the base coat, your original nails will develop a yellowish hue. The base coat provides a protective layer between your nail and the pigment of the polish above.
- Base Coats Add Healthy Ingredients and Moisturizer to Your Nails: A solid base coat can help with a number of nail issues, such as eliminate dryness and add moisture to the nails. A base coat also keeps your cuticles strong. If weak, brittle nails are your problem, apply a base coat that includes a strengthening formula.
Make your manicure last longer with a strong base coat!
A clear base coat can be worn alone to add shine to your nails, or applied underneath your preferred colors. Another great way to use the base coat is to apply a layer over the colored polish, once your manicure is completed. This adds more protection to your nails and helps prevent chipping. Healthy, manicured hands make for happy hands.
Base coats are also necessary to ensure a successful pedicure that brightens your toes in your sandals and hose!
Colorful, fun nail polish is all part of the manicure process. Whether you prefer clear nail polish as your base, or the look of the nails, base coats are the answer to manicures that last when the expiration date has truly passed.
The answer to a long-lasting manicure? A strong base coat!
