How to paint nails neatly

Without well-groomed hands and a perfect manicure, the image of an ideal beauty cannot be considered complete. It is for this reason that a successful manicure, like a beautiful hairstyle and impeccable makeup, gives a woman self-confidence. But is it necessary to go to the salon every time you need to paint your nails? Not at all. With our tips, you will learn how to do it yourself.

As you know, you can not save on your beauty. Therefore, if you are going to buy another bottle of varnish, choose it carefully. Do not buy cosmetics in dubious places. It is unlikely that you will find a worthwhile product there. Most likely, your money will be wasted.

A good nail polish should have a uniform texture, be fresh and moderately liquid:

• Too thick varnish will lay in stripes.
• A heterogeneous texture with lumps will only spoil it.
• Expired varnish can be safely thrown away, there will still be no sense from it.
• If you do not have a special tool for degreasing the nail surface, it does not matter. You can use ordinary medical alcohol or nail polish remover as such a tool.
• The base or base coat will replace the usual clear varnish. It will not allow the coloring pigments of the decorative varnish to penetrate the nail plate. But remember that in this case the surface of the nail will not be able to breathe.
• If you missed and hit the cuticle with a brush, then there is no need to immediately fix the failed nail. The coating will not dry immediately, and then it will be possible to wipe it off the cuticle with a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover.
• Try to apply even thin layers on your nails, then the manicure will turn out beautiful.
• Do not wave your hands, trying to dry the varnish as quickly as possible. Let everything go naturally, otherwise bubbles will form and the varnish will soon come off.

Your movements must be accurate and confident. Do everything at a fast enough pace so that the varnish does not have time to dry, otherwise ugly streaks will form.

Wait for the first coat to dry completely and apply the second coat in the same way. Try to make thin layers so that the coating lasts longer.

Apply a fixer to the completely dry varnish.

If there are small errors, correct them with a stick, soaking it in nail polish remover.
