Here are some tips for painting your nails perfectly:

DO:

  • Begin by washing your hands and trimming your nails to your desired length.

  • File your nails to your desired shape.

  • Apply a base coat to help protect your nails and improve the overall appearance of your polish.

  • Apply your nail polish in thin, even strokes, starting at the base of the nail and working your way up to the tip. Be sure to cap the tip of your nail to help prevent chipping.

  • Apply a top coat to help seal in your polish and give it a glossy finish.

DON’T:

  • Don’t apply nail polish to chipped or peeling nails. This will only make the problem worse and make your polish look uneven.

  • Don’t shake your nail polish bottle before use. This will create bubbles in the polish, which will be difficult to remove and can lead to an uneven finish.

  • Don’t apply too much polish at once. This can cause the polish to glob or drip, leading to an uneven finish.

  • Don’t apply nail polish in direct sunlight or in a drafty area. This can cause the polish to dry too quickly or unevenly.

  • Don’t pick at your polish if it starts to chip. This can cause the polish to peel off completely and can damage your nails. Instead, touch up any chips with a new coat of polish.

By following these tips, you’ll be on your way to perfectly painted nails in no time!
