Most girls love beauty, and they also like to have beautiful hands, so many girls like to apply nail polish. At the same time, they also know that they need to apply base coat before applying nail polish. So is it necessary to apply base coat before applying nail polish? What are the skills and correct methods of applying nail polish?

Yes, the purpose of applying base coat is to protect nails. Nail polish is also made of chemicals, and direct contact may cause great damage to nails. Nail polish is composed of certain chemicals: volatile solvents, nitrocellulose, a small amount of oily solvents, camphor, titanium dioxide and oil-soluble pigments. Base coat is usually transparent and colorless. It can prevent excessive intrusion of harmful substances in nail polish into nails and prevent nails from turning yellow and hardening. On the other hand, applying base coat may make the applied nail polish last longer. In this way, it is better to apply base coat. Highly glossy base coat can not only make nails tough, but also prevent nails from breaking and delamination, so that nails can be restored to health.

1. First, clean your nails. If the surface of the nails is not clean and has dust, grease and other debris, it will affect the effect of applying nail polish. If it is a manicure, you should also use a nail file to grind the nail surface, trim the shape of the nails, then sweep it clean with a brush, and wipe it with a cotton pad dipped in alcohol.

2. Then apply a layer of nail polish base coat to make the nail surface smoother and enhance the adhesion of nail polish. Applying nail polish directly may result in insufficient gloss and smoothness.

3. Then start applying nail polish, which should be applied from the middle of the nail to both sides. Aim the brush head at the base of the nail, press it gently, so that the brush spreads out in a fan shape, so that the contact area with the nail is the largest, and then slide towards the tip of the nail.

4. When the nail polish is 80% dry, you can apply the second coat. The purpose of the second coat is to make the color fuller and smoother.

5. After the nail polish is completely dry, apply a layer of top coat.

This is probably because you shook the small bottle of nail polish by hand before using it. When you shake the small bottle of nail polish, the nail polish and the air on the top of the bottle are mixed together, which is the factor that produces bubbles when applying nail polish. To avoid the formation of bubbles, it is recommended to gently rotate the nail polish bottle between your palms - this causes the small metal ball in the nail polish to rotate, making the nail polish uniform without generating bubbles. Or the surface of the nail is not cleaned, and there are residues of grease, moisture or other impurities, which will cause some places to be unable to apply nail polish; the storage environment of the nail polish is not good, resulting in product quality problems, or the product itself is not good, and pay attention to whether the nail polish is expired; if the base gel and nail polish are not of the same brand, the bonding degree will not be high.

If you wear nail polish for a long time, it will cause cancer. Although the nails look particularly bright after manicure, it is because it contains a large amount of chemical ingredients, which can make the nail polish stay in the surgery for a long time. Nail polish contains Sudan red, which is a poison. If it is absorbed by the human body for a long time, it may cause poisoning and cancer. Wearing nail polish for a long time is not good for your health. Those who have worn nail polish know that it has a particularly strong smell. Even the harmful substances in the nail polish in the bottle will evaporate. If pregnant women stay in a room with nail polish for a long time, it is easy to cause fetal malformation or miscarriage. The toxins in nail polish will corrode your nails, and the toxins will also run into your body with food. Some people may go to a professional nail shop to apply nail polish, but they don’t know that such nail polish will be more toxic than the nail polish we buy ourselves. It is recommended that you never wear nail polish, even if it is transparent nail polish, it is better not to apply it as much as possible.
