The love is in the air, today Valentine's Day is celebrated in several countries around the world, and here we are already completely in the mood. We've already given tips on what to wear on the first date, but there's another basic detail that can't be left out on this occasion: your nails. We'll now teach you some nail art designs with a romantic theme for you to try at home or maybe save for another occasion.
How to take care of your nails?
Before showing off beautiful and decorated nails, you must first take proper care so that the result is even better. Follow these steps.
Cut and file your nails: Cut your nails in the shape you like the most, then file them to improve their appearance, but without reducing their length. If your nails have ridges, file them with a buffer file on the surface.
Soften and remove cuticles: Apply a cuticle softening cream and water to the cuticles to soften them, then push them back with a cuticle pusher and remove excess skin with nail clippers. Be careful not to hurt yourself.
Apply a base coat: After taking care of your nails, apply a base coat to protect them and then start applying nail polish.
