September 8, 2023

Refine your nl technician skills with professional-grade techniques designed specifically for ambitious trnees.

Step 1: Preparatory Work

Begin by preparing a cotton ball and an orange stick. Soak the cotton ball in pure alcohol 99.9 to thoroughly cleanse the nl surface, removing any oil or water residues. Pay extra attention to wipe along the free edges of your nls without making contact with the skin; strong alcohol can cause skin dryness.

Clean any remning nl debris from the nl edge using an orange stick if necessary. If you're unable to remove them completely, gently sand the edges with a sponge buffer to ensure cleanliness. Clean up after this step.

Step 2: Base Coat Application

Apply a base coat for protection of your natural nls. Learn proper handling and brush techniques:

Holding the bottle at the base with your thumb, ring finger, and pinky fingers allows free control over the client's fingers. The brush's liquid amount is adjusted by rotating the neck agnst the bottle.

Start by applying polish to both the edges and surfaces of the nls; this requires a thin brush stroke for precise application on narrow spaces.

Increase the brush size when pressing agnst the bottle neck for broader coverage. This deps upon your nl's length, width, and curvature.

To Edges:

Commence by applying base coat at the edges, starting with your pinky finger on the right hand and moving upward without reaching the thumb. Gently pinch back the skin to avoid liquid contact while pulling it down to ensure clean lines.

Reverse these steps for the left hand.

For Surfaces:

Apply the first coat of base coat onto the nl plate's center using a thin, even sweep with your brush slightly in front of the proximal nl fold. Follow by pressing forward while mntning close proximity to the edge for an accurate application and avoid skin contact as this may cause dryness over time.

After the first swipe, pull back the skin gently; if polish has spread onto the skin or missed spots exist on nls that need extra care like thumbnls, apply the base coat up to five times until it's even.

Other Tips:

If the brush slips onto the skin, use a piece of cotton wrapped around an orange stick and dip into nl polish remover lightly. Wipe off excess polish before it dries.

Step 3: Polish Application

is virtually identical for applying color as base coat; usually done twice with minor differences between coats. The first coat should thinly cover the entire nl plate, followed by a second even application that eliminates unevenness without touching edges.

Tips to Improve:

Practice adjusting brush width and polish quantity.

Hone your skills in drawing curves on nls repeatedly using the color.

Master pulling back skin during application.

Apply color slightly inside where base coat was applied near proximal folds; leave approximately 0.05 - 0.1 mm gap.

, clean the bottle neck after use for optimal performance.

Step 4: Top Coat Application

Top coats add shine and reinforce color polish durability. Brush application mirrors that of the base coat process.

Apply top coat outside the area where color was applied near proximal folds; leave approximately a 0.05 - 0.1 mm gap.

Step 5: Cuticle Oil Application

After nl polish has dried, apply cuticle oil to hydrate and moisturize skin at the nl tips and accelerate drying time for polish. Gently spread it around with small drops onto your cuticles and nl bed.

If nls appear dry even post-polish application, apply a bit of oil on those areas too; avoid excessive pressure when doing so.

In , following these steps ensures not only the longevity of your manicure but also promotes healthier nl care practices. Stay tuned for more tips on Japanese nl care techniques and arts!
