Choose a nail polish in a color of your choice.


Make sure to have your cottonballs, nail polish remover (acetone), towel, newspaper, and clear nail polish.


Paint your nails in a well-ventilated room. The fumes can be extremely dangerous to your health.


Do not Shake the nail polish bottle as this will cause bubbles. Instead roll the bottle between your hands to warm it up. Open it, and scrape some of the excess nail polish off.


Paint one stripe in the middle. Then, paint a stripe on the left, continuing to the right.


Apply one coat of clear nail polish (base and top coat works best). Let it dry.


Apply your first coat of color to your nails, using only three strokes per finger and painting in an upward motion. Don't worry if it looks too thin. It's supposed to. Let it dry -- if it's even a little sticky, the next coat won't go on.


Apply your second coat of color to your nails. Let it dry.


Apply a last coat of clear nail polish to keep the color lasting for at least 1 more week!





TIPS:





Keep nail polish in the refrigerator. This will keep it from clumping and make it last longer.


If your nail polish clumps up on your nail, remove it with the nail polish remover. If the nail polish is old, roll it between your hands to warm it up. Then, if clumping continues, throw it out. Get a new nail polish.


When painting, keep the coats very thin!


When you mess up, don't stress up! Simply wipe it off with toilet paper and remove all the polish with nail polish remover to get the stuff that the toilet paper missed.


Remember that the top coat is the one everyone will see, and the one that you'll feel. Keep that coat smooth!


If you want sort-of a cool looking texture, wait until the coat is dry enough that you can make fingerprints on it, but not have to clean any off your finger. Then put your finger on it and it will make a finger print! It looks kind of neat from close up.


Run your nails under water after painting. This will give you the chance to feel any bumps without ruining the coat.


If you are in a hurry, use a hair dryer to dry your nails!


If you mess up, get an edge on a piece of toilet paper and gently wipe it off.


Use sparkly and shiny colors! This will get your fingers noticed and you will love it the most!


Don't be afraid to put on stickers or fake gems!


If you don't have the patience to let your nails dry, sit still, wave your arms around like crazy, or watch a movie so that you are busy while your nails dry!


Don't paint on a washcloth; it will make it dirty; use a piece of notebook paper.


If your nails keep breaking and the nail polish makes them look gross, buy some nail hardening fluid (this can be found in the makeup section of drugstores and chemist shops) which you apply before the nail polish. It will make your nails nice and strong so they look long and pretty when painted.How do I apply nail polish best (what are your secrets on it)?
.... put a little bit of nail polish remover in the bottle... my mums a nail tech... just a tiny little bit... like a drop. this stops all clumps and helps stop streaks. :) also dont buy elcheapo nail polish.... go the good brands you know of. :) they always work best.





With the french set. make sure you let each layer dry... make sure its REALLY dry before taking the sticker off... :)
Practise applying it with a dark colour 1st because then you can see where your mistakes are.


Ok 1st you need to apply a base coat. It helps the nail polish go on smoother and protects your nail.


Then you need alot of polish on the brush and start from in middle of your nail and then to the tip in 1 stroke, then 1 edge of your nail in 1 stroke, and then the other edge in 1 stroke and finally the middle of your nail again in 1 stroke. You only need to dip the brush in the polish 1 time per nail.


And after its dried add a clear vanish on top to keep the colour there and make it shiney. Hope this helps :)
Do it in three bits streak down the middle of the nail then a streak down the right side of nail and streak down left of nail, use cotton buds soaked in acetone free nail polish to remove Polish you may have dripped on skin, wait until completely dry to stop smudging and put stencil on and use color to go over tip of nail but do not go over and over as it will end up in a mess just go over tip using one stroke......if this does not work go to nail salon much more relaxing.
