Tips for Applying Nail Polish

Find out how you can keep your nails looking their absolute best without heading to the Salon Manicure for pricey false nails.

This tips are for simple one colour nail design.


1. Avoid Harsh Chemical.

Before applying new polish to your fingernails, you'll want to remove the old one. Instead of using a harsh acetone solution, look for non-acetone nail polish removers. This will keep your nails healthy and shiny. To remove polish without causing damage, be sure to rub polish away with a cotton pad that won't scratch the surface of nail. 


2. Always use a base coat.

To keep your nails from turning an unhealthly yellow shade, apply a base coat before your choosen coloured nail polish. Start at the white half-moon above the cuticle and apply in upward motion. Let the base coat dry for 4 to 5 minutes before attempting to apply your colour.


3. Apply Two Coats of Polish.

Be sure to apply two coats of polish. Remember to allow each coat to dry before applying the next one. This will help you avoid messing up your manicure. 


4.Let your nails dry.

While sitting around doing nothing can be boring, it's also the only way to make sure you dont smudge your nail polish after applying it.


5.Apply top coat.

If you want to, you can apply a fast setting top coat you can find it in the beauty stores and make sure it sets really soon. If you don't have a top coat, dip your fingers in ice cold water. This sets the nail polish and gives it shine and you're done with your own simple manicure. 


IMPORTANT TIPS I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE! 
  • Make sure you apply polish that's of a good quality. Cheap polish will chip off easily and will look messy or not as neat.
  • If you have long nails, try applying a lighter colour. Medium length and short nails look good with dark colours. However, it depends on you.
  • When letting your nails dry, be sure to wait a long time as they can smudge easily and you will have to start all over again. 
  • Buys colours that suit you and your outfits.

Thank you all for reading!
