Learn all about nails with Christina Jones
Examine your base coat closely, even under a magnifying glass if you have one. You want this coat to be nice and smooth. You may see that you have lots of tiny bubbles on your nails when you apply the base coat. If you see this, you must remove your polish, and go back to the 4 way buffer and rebuff your nails. Your nails are made up of layers, and until your top nail layer is smooth (as opposed to looking like a microscopic cheese grater) these tiny bubbles will pop right up through your polish and you will end up with a very rough looking polish job that will have very little going for it in the way of durability. Catch this problem now, with the base coat, before you see it coming through the polish as the whole thing is drying.
The Nail Tech Secrets that you see today was my first foray into writing about beauty online. The site originated in January 2005 as a good old handwritten html site, taken from the manuscripts of a book I was writing while staying at home taking care of my seriously ill husband. A few months later I put it on blog software, then in December 2005, my romance with WordPress began, and the result is the site you see now. I ebb and flow in my tending of NTS, but if you want to learn to do manicures and pedicures yourself, explore the categories and you will find lots of in depth information. And I hope you will subscribe to my email updates and get the latest and greatest nail news, tips and how to's from Nail Tech Secrets!
