Nail Prep for the Perfect Nailfie
Ever see those hand commercials and magazines where the model has the perfect, smooth skin like porcelain while holding that perfect pose and brand you love? Have you ever wondered how they mastered that technique or what beauty regimen they have? Well, we’re here to help and provide you with some essential tips, as with every stunning nailfie or hand pose, preparation is key!
1. Put That Product In
Did you know that our nails are more permeable than the skin? Yes, you read that right! Like other parts of our body, your nails must be prepped and moisturized. Using a nutrient-rich oil or moisturizer on your nails before bedtime is best.

2. Softer Hands, Stronger Nails
Aside from just applying moisturizer on your nails, it’s best to massage it right in. As you massage the moisturizer into your hands, nails, and cuticles, you improve blood circulation and give them essential nutrients to make them softer, plumper, and stronger.

3. Time to Shine
Prepare your nails for the cameras! 📸 Of course, we want your nails to appear clean and aesthetic when taking nailfies! With proper care for your cuticles, we make sure that your nail beds appear neat and tidy, allowing your nail wraps to shine! Always remember to be gentle in trimming the excess cuticle, and never overdo it.

4. Go, Grow, and GLOW
Having a well-balanced diet is essential in maintaining your nails healthy-looking. Don’t forget to include foods like eggs, nuts, legumes, vegetables, fruits, and the right amount of meat in your daily diet to promote nail strength.

5. Drink that Water, Girl!
Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Drink plenty of water to keep your nails and cuticles moisturized. Staying well-hydrated helps prevent nail brittleness. Of course, we want those nailfies to look perfect - inside and out!

6. Be YOU!
Confidence is the key! Feel free to focus on your unique style while experimenting with angles and lighting to highlight the details of your nail wraps. Remember, confidence shines through when you feel good about yourself.
