How to start with Bad Nailz

Your first DIY manicure does not have to be difficult. The key things are thin layers, controlled application and proper curing.

What do you need to start?

• your chosen colour,
• base,
• top,
• UV/LED lamp,
• file or buffer,
• cleaner / cleansing product if required by the product,
• lint-free wipes,
• cuticle oil or another cuticle care product.

A simple plan for your first manicure

1. Prep the nail plate and gently shape the nail.
2. Remove dust and degrease the nail plate.
3. Apply a thin layer of base and cure.
4. Apply the first thin layer of colour and cure.
5. Apply the second thin layer of colour and cure.
6. Seal the look with top and cure.
7. Finish with cuticle care.

Common beginner mistakes

• applying product too thickly,
• getting product on the cuticles,
• curing for too little time,
• forgetting to cap the free edge,
• touching the nail plate after degreasing it.

Best start: begin with one simple look and watch the video on the product page before you apply.
