How to... Prep your nails

 

Shop our Basic Essential Kit to here for a kit with everything you need for perfect prep!

STEP 1

Sanitize/wash hands, and then use a TGB 220/240 file to shape nails in one direction (from the outer edge to the centre of your nail).

STEP 2

Apply Peacci Cuticle Remover around your cuticles and to the skin around your nails. Our Cuticle Remover is enriched with plant oils to soften the skin and allow cuticles to be gently pushed back with a cuticle pusher.

STEP 3

Using the curved end of the cuticle pusher, gently push your cuticles back to remove any dead skin. This creates a larger surface for the polish to be applied. With the blade edge, gently go around the edge of your nail, removing any dead skin. Wipe your nails and the surrounding skin using IPA (alcohol) if available, otherwise, wash your hands.

STEP 4

If there is any dead skin left around your nails such as hangnails, gently remove them using cuticle nippers for precise trimming.
