With the lockdown in full force, here’s a handy nail tutorial from Nails by Mets founder, Metta, on how you can paint your nails like a professional at home. This DIY guide is easy to follow and all featured products can be purchased directly from the Nails by Mets online store (UK shipping).
Products used:
• CND
Ridge Fx ~ great base coat which helps fill in any ridges/mask any imperfections
• CND VINYLUX in Kiss from a Rose ~ from the English Garden Collection
• CND VINYLUX Top Coat ~ our favourite! Dried in 8.5 minutes & provides ultimate shine. The longer you wear it, the more hard wearing it becomes!
TOP TIPS:
• Give your bare nails a wipe with acetone or alcohol to remove any oils from the surface ~ this will make the post stick better to your nail
• First coat of colour should be a bit uneven and patchy – don’t try to get a smooth/opaque finish with this layer or it’ll be too thick
• Don’t press down on the 2nd coat or top coat, simply float the colour and with layers you can be a bit more generous. Pressing down will cause the first layer to streak
• Finish your manicure with a slick of cuticle oil or cuticle balm to hydrate the skin around the nails 
Hope you enjoy the tutorial and we can’t wait to get back on the road, and see you all again soon!
