The world dictates its own rules – for example, now we only have access to manicure and nail care at home. Great, that you could easily make manicure at home using BERENICE products. Read the detailed story and useful life hacks in our article.
1
First, you need to remove the remnants of the previous nail polish, if it was applied.
– it is better to choose a remover without acetone in the formula, as it damages the nails
– it is most convenient to remove the nail polish with lint-free wipes, but if you do not have them, then you can use regular cotton pads
– moisten a wipe or cotton pad well, attach to the nail and wait a few seconds, then remove the nail polish with movements from the base of the nail to the tip. This technique will allow you to quickly remove the nail polish and avoid staining the skin around the nail
We recommend using Nail Polish Remover, this is the most gentle product that quickly and accurately removes the nail polish.

Cuticle care. No color of the nail polish or design will be nice to look at if the cuticle is sloppy, so the most important step in the manicure procedure is to remove the cuticle. To do this, you need at least 2 products – peeling for cuticles and orange sticks.
– apply peeling on the cuticle, but try not to touch the nail plate
– keep on during the recommended time
– after the recommended time, the cuticle will become soft and it will be easy to work with an orange stick
– take a new orange stick and carefully treat the cuticle
– if necessary, use special nipples or scissors for the cuticle, they must be disinfected before use, even if these are your personal tools
We recommend the product Cuticle Peeling, it works quickly and efficiently with any, even very dry and hard cuticle and allows you to remove it easily.

Next, we work on the shape of the nails, for this procedure you will need nail files.
– to give shape and the required length you will need a nail file with abrasiveness from 100 to 200 grit
– you need to work with a file, moving in short movements to one side from the side of the nail to the center
– it is not recommended to file nails with “here and there” movements, this can damage them and cause delamination
– you can also gently work on the nail wall with a nail file if the skin on them is rough
– further treat the nail with a buffer, it will smooth out irregularities and the edge of the nail
– at the end, polish your nails with a nail file – polisher, it is better to apply a colored nail polish on a smoothed nail.
We recommend using BERENICE nail files. Files Speedy File 100 * 180 and 100 * 150 will help to shape the nails and remove excesses. Buffer Sponge Buffer 220 * 280 will help to treat the nails, and polishing nail file Miracle Shiner 600 * 4000 – to polish a nail plate to a mirror shine.

We recommend using BERENICE Oxygen Base base, apart of the above, this treatment cares for nails, as it is based on a unique oxygen formula.
– apply colored nail polish. Necessarily a thin layer, it is ok if it is not very even
– only after the first layer is completely dry, apply the second, it will create an even and sole-colored coating
– be sure to brush a little along the edge of the nail, this will extend the durability of the varnish
