Directions to perfect nails This article will teach you how to correctly paint your nails without making a huge mess and keeping your nails as healthy as they can be.

First, you will start off by removing any polish you may already have on your nails, especially if your previous polish is chipped or very dark.

To remove your polish use a cotton ball or cotton swab and put some nail polish remover (the more acetone the remover contains the faster and easier it is to remove the nail polish).

Once you’ve taken all your polish off fill a bowl with warm soapy water and soak your finger nails (not your hands, just your nails) in the water for 3 to 5 minutes.

After your nials have been soaked take them out of the bowl and dry them. Then use a cuticle stick to push back your cuticles, do this gently and make sure not to push them back to far.

step is optional.)

After you have pushed back your cuticles cute your nails to your desired length then file the edges however you like, straight or rounded.

Once you’ve finished that step you can use a 4 way nail buffer to flatten, smooth, buffer, and shine your nails this gives the polish a smooth, clean surface to rest on (this

Once your nails have been prepped find a basecoat (I recommend OPI’s basecoat) and apply a thin even coat over each of your nails; this will prevent from future chipping and keep the colored polish from dying your finger

nails.

After the base coat is completely dry then retrieve your bottle of colored nail polish (make sure to roll it in your hands (don't shake it) to blend completely).

Then Twist open the cap of the bottle and gently drag the brush against the side of the bottle, getting rid of excess paint.

Once you have removed any excess paint Place one side of the brush a little bit away from the cuticle, (if you put it right against the cuticle it will stick to your cuticle and when you go to take it off there will be a thin line of nail polish left.)

Then drag the polish toward the free edge of the nail in a thin coat (make sure to do this in a fluid movement to prevent kinks in the polish.)

Continue until you've covered the entire nail, dipping and wiping the brush as needed.

Continue these steps on the rest of your nails, making sure each is completely dry before starting a new coat.

After you’ve put the amount of layers to create the shade you wanted find a good top coat (I recommend OPI’s Topcoat) and paint it over your completely dry, painted nails (this will help to keep the polish shiny, chip-free and looking fresh.

Now, you’re done! Enjoy your perfectly painted nails.

How to give yourself a french manicure This article will teach you how to give yourself a french manicure without making a huge mess and keeping your nails as healthy as they can be.

First, you will start off by removing any polish you may already have on your nails. To remove your polish use a cotton ball or cotton swab and put some nail polish remover (the more acetone the remover contains the faster and easier it is to remove the nail polish).

If your nails are stained from previous polish use whitening toothpaste and lime juice and mix them into a paste with an old toothbrush. Once you have made the paste use the toothbrush or nail brush to brush your nails clean then rinse with water and dry your nails.

Once you’ve taken all your polish off fill a bowl with warm soapy water and soak your finger nails (not your hands, just your nails) in the water for 3 to 5

minutes.

After your nails have been soaked take them out of the bowl and dry them. Then use a cuticle stick to push back your cuticles, do this gently and make sure not to push them back to far.

After you have pushed back your cuticles cute your nails to your desired length then file the edges however you like, straight or

rounded.

Once you’ve finished that step you can use a 4 way nail buffer to flatten, smooth, buffer, and shine your nails this gives the polish a smooth, clean surface to rest on (this step is optional.)

Once your nails have been prepped find a basecoat (I recommend OPI’s basecoat) and apply a thin even coat over each of your nails; this will prevent from future chipping and keep the colored polish from dying your finger nails.

After the base coat is completely dry grad your white nail polish and load the brush with polish. You can use stickers to guide where the polish should go or you can

do it freehand.

Use the white of your nails to guide where the paint should go (the

shorter your nails the smaller the tip.) Place the brush onto the corner of your nail and turn your finger instead of moving the brush. For shorter nails paint slightly more than the natural white of your nails to make them appear longer. Once you have completed the first layer of white repaint the white to intensify the color.

After you have finished the tips paint a nude nail color over the whole nail to make your nails look shiny and flawless. As soon as the nude color has dried paint a topcoat (I like OPI’s topcoat) over the entire nail and you are finished! Let the dry before you do much because you don’t want to smudge!

These are stickers made out of nail polish made to stick easily and cleanly to any nail shape or size. To use these you must clean your nails of any excess nail polish and any oils that may be on your nails. To remove any oils you may use nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol.

Once your nails are free of oil you heat up the nail stickers by rubbing them (so that they don’t tare as easily), then peel off the sticker you want and place the curved side towards your cuticle. Starting on one side of your nail place the sticker down and begin to push it down moving towards the other side of your nail making sure that there are no bumps beneath the sticker. Then use nail clippers to cut off most of the extra sticker then save it or discard it. Use a nail file (glass works best) to smooth down the sticker and the edges of your nail then file away the extra sticker at the end of your nail making sure that the sticker is pressed firmly to your nail so you don’t file away too much of the sticker leaving a blank spot on your nail. These will stay on a week to two weeks depending on the conditions you use them in.
