- Nail plate preparation – it should be done gently and carefully in the first place. First buff the nail plate, be careful not go to deep. Otherwise, you might damage your natural nail while removing the hybrid nail polish.
- Nail regeneration – for this purpose you can use cosmetics that protect the nail plate from damage, reduce the risk of discolouration, regenerate the nails, increase the durability of the manicure, smooth the plate and improve its colour.
- High-quality products – make sure you use the best products possible. Good nail polishes, primers and top coats minimize the risk of nail plate damage and usually contain moisturising ingredients.
- Removal – you should not remove or peel off the hybrid yourself as it may lead to nail plate deterioration. All you need to do is soak the hybrid nail polish in acetone and then file gently. To protect the nails, apply a nail serum.
