A nail protector, often in the form of a tape, is used by wrapping it around the nail to protect the skin surrounding it during nail treatments. It acts as a barrier, almost like a "tiny glove" hugging your nail.
Here's a breakdown of how to use a nail protector tape, based on the reference:
- Preparation: Ensure the skin around your nail is clean and dry.
- Application:
- Take a piece of nail protector tape.
- Carefully wrap it around your nail.
- Make sure it covers the skin you want to protect.
- Adhesion: The tape should "hug" your nail, providing a snug fit.
- Purpose: The nail protector prevents nail polish or other treatments from getting on the skin surrounding the nail.
In summary, nail protectors (specifically tape) are applied by wrapping them around the nail to shield the surrounding skin during manicures or other nail procedures.
