If you’re a fan of luxurious beauty products, then you must have heard of the famous Chanel nail polish range. Known for its high-quality formula, rich pigmentation and long-lasting wear, Chanel nail polish is a favorite among many women.
However, applying it perfectly can be a bit tricky. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of applying Chanel nail polish flawlessly.
Prepare Your Nails
The first step to achieving a perfect manicure is to prepare your nails. Start by removing any old nail polish using a non-acetone remover and a cotton pad.
Next, trim your nails to the desired length and shape them using a file. Buff the surface of your nails gently to smooth out any ridges or bumps.
Apply Base Coat
Before applying the actual nail polish, it’s essential to apply a base coat. This helps to protect your nails from staining and also helps the nail polish adhere better and last longer. Apply one coat of Chanel’s La Base protective and smoothing base coat on each nail and let it dry completely.
Apply Nail Polish
Now comes the main part- applying the Chanel nail polish! Ensure that you shake the bottle well before using it to mix up any settled pigment. Use the brush applicator provided in the bottle and dip it into the nail polish carefully.
Start by painting down the center of your nail with one stroke from base to tip. Then paint each side of your nails with one stroke starting from cuticle area towards tip in order not to flood your cuticles with nail paint.
For best results, apply two thin coats rather than one thick layer as this will help prevent bubbling and peeling later on making sure that each layer is dry before applying another one.
Apply Top Coat
Once you have applied two coats of Chanel’s Le Vernis nail polish, it’s time to add some shine and ensure long-lasting wear by applying a top coat. Apply one coat of Chanel’s Le Gel Coat over each nail, making sure to cover the entire surface. This will protect your nails from chipping and also give them a glossy finish.
Clean Up
After completing the application process, wait for at least 10-15 minutes for your nails to dry completely. Then use a flat brush dipped in acetone or nail polish remover to clean up any excess polish around your cuticles or skin.
Final Thoughts
Applying Chanel nail polish can be easy if you follow these simple steps. With the right preparation, proper application techniques and some patience, you can achieve salon-worthy results at home.
Try experimenting with different shades and create stunning looks that compliment your style. Happy painting!
