How long does your preps take? ⏳

Hi all!

I feel like my prep is seriously slowing me down, it can easily take me 1-1,5 hours to do, depending on if it’s an infill.

I’d love to hear how long, you approximately use, prepping for gel nails??

My routine:

1. Take off bulk of old set (carbide bit)
2. Remove cuticles (flame bit)
3. Cut excess cuticle (if needed)
4. push back cuticles
5. exfoliate the skin around the nail bed + cuticle area (round metal bit)
6. Buff the whole nail (e-file, 240 grit)
7. Wipe off with isopropyl alcohol
8. Dehydrator

I feel like my routine is quite average, but I’d love to hear from you, if you think I’m doing too much or at least how long the different steps take you 💕

Thanks in advance xx
