Perfectly Polished Nails

Have you ever got into difficulty while painting your nails? Does your nail polish take too long to dry? Do you end up painting your finger and not your nail itself? If your answer to any of these questions are yes, i've got a few easy tips for the perfect smooth manicure.

1.   Always begin with a base coat.
2.   When removing brush from the bottle slowly wipe off one side at the edge of the bottle.     (This prevents excess nail polish from dripping all over your work area or finger. It also       gives the perfect amount of polish to apply on your nails.
3.   There are three steps when it comes to applying your nail polish.

•        Start at the centre of your nail close to the bottom and stroke brush upwards.
•      Start to the bottom again this time at one side and paint upwards.
•        Repeat the same step on the other side. 

          4.   Note: Its ok to take your time. 

          5.   Repeat these same three steps when applying your coloured polish.

          6.   Applying a second coat increases the opacity.

          7.   Always finish with a topcoat of your choice to prevent your nail polish from chipping and             also to increase the lonjectivity of your polish.
