Prep
This is how I prep my natural nails for nail art. If you don’t use tips your prep will be different but just omit the tips and glue!
I use tips but you can definitely do these on your natural nails! These are the tips I use!
UNA GELLA Extra Short Square Nail Tips XS 216pcs
I use glass cuticle pushers to prep my nails for anything! They’re so much more gentle than metal, but work better than plastic or silicone!
Glass Cuticle Pusher - Amazon.com
Along with the glass cuticle pusher, I apply this all over my cuticles and wait a minute. This helps melt off the dead skin and allows me to push back the rest!
Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover Nail Treatment
My all time favorite pair of cuticle nippers! Be careful because they are SHARP but that’s why they’re so amazing. They take off the slightest bit of cuticle so they’re great for that teeny little spot that is being stubborn!
