How to prepare your nails before applying resin or UV gel

Here's Gossip Nail's first video! We decided to start with the basics of nail application, which is nail preparation. This is an essential step that is all too often neglected. Before applying resin or UV gel, you must always prepare your nails. This removes all traces of grease for better product adhesion. It also allows you to check that the nails are healthy and to smooth out small imperfections.

Here are the step-by-step instructions for proper nail preparation:

  • Wash your hands
  • Examine hands to check for nail imperfections or potential diseases to treat.
  • Push back cuticles
  • File nails with a 240/240 grit file.
  • Buff the top of the nail with the yellow block. Optionally with the white block, but be careful not to over-buff, so as not to weaken the nail.
  • Clean with the brush, from the cuticles outwards to prevent dust from getting under the skin, which could cause infections.
  • Apply about 2 coats of pH control. The nail should become a little whiter.
  • And there you have it! Your nails are ready for a resin or UV gel application.
