How to do permanent nails step by step

The process to do a pedicure or permanent manicure at home is not difficult when you have everything you need. Make sure you have the following tools before starting: permanent nail polish in the color or colors you like best (if you don't have it, you can use regular or semi-permanent polish), gel primer, top coat, cuticle pusher, nail clippers, file, UV light lamp, pure acetone, an orange stick, and disinfectant cleaner. You can also include a moisturizing polish or a moisturizing cream for the cuticle in the kit.

Before starting the permanent manicure, you may have painted nails, so you should remove the current polish using cotton soaked with pure acetone. Rub it over the surface until your natural nail is visible.

Steps to do permanent nails:

1. Soak your nails in a container with water for 2 minutes. This way the cuticle will be soft and it may be much easier for you to clean them.
2. Next, dry your hands and proceed to clean the cuticle area using the orange stick and with the help of the cuticle pusher remove the excess.
3. Cut your nails and file them until they are the desired size and shape. When finished, use the soft part of the file to smooth the nail surface.
4. Clean your nails with the help of a disinfectant cleaner that removes any trace of dirt.
5. With clean nails, apply a layer of gel primer (or base) on the surface of each one. Depending on the thickness you want to achieve, you can apply a second layer.
6. It's time to apply the permanent polish. You can do the technique you like best (and know how to do), such as nails with a gradient effect or geometric shapes in different colors, you choose!
7. When applying the polish on one hand, turn on the UV lamp and place it under the UV light for 1 minute until the polish dries. When finished, repeat the procedure with the other hand.
8. If you think you need to apply a second layer of permanent polish, do so and repeat the drying process with the UV light lamp.
9. To finish, apply a layer of top coat shine and place the nails under the UV light again.

And that's how easy it is to do a permanent manicure! If you have the right nail kit and all the tools, it's just a matter of time before you become an expert in this beauty technique. Soon you will be able to experiment with more elaborate designs.

How long do permanent nails last?

One of the benefits of permanent nails is that they can last intact for several weeks. However, it should be noted that if you do a semi-permanent manicure with semi-permanent polish, the result may last much less.

For this reason, it is worth buying a good quality permanent polish that allows you to make your ideal nails and enjoy them for 3 or 4 weeks. Also, if you include a good top coat in your manicure, the result will be much better and you will be able to enjoy your nails without fear of the polish getting damaged.
