1. Disinfection, disinfection, and disinfection once more!
Disinfect the surface of your desk, tools, equipment, as well as, your own and your client’s hands. You can use Hydrosept to disinfect the surface of your desk, and Izosol to disinfect the skin on hands.
2. Push back the cuticles
First, assess the state of your client’s nails. If there are no visible signs of skin lesions, you can begin work. Use a short, wood nail stick to push back the cuticles, and if it’s necessary, remove them.
3. Buff the nail plate and shorten the nail’s free edge
Choose a banana-shaped nail file, and use the 180-grit side to gently, yet precisely buff the plate and shorten the nail’s free edge.
4. Dust off
Use a nail art dust brush to remove the dust from the nail plate.
