The first step in nail care: apply protective varnish as a base. On the one hand, this is intended to protect the surface of the nail and, on the other hand, it also serves as a base for the upcoming polish, which means it lasts better.
Don't overdo it with the amount of nail polish
Next, apply two thin coats of your desired varnish. First, run the brush along the neck of the bottle to let the excess paint drip off. This will prevent you from overdoing the quantity. This is important so that the paint can dry faster and the result is perfect.
Paint the middle first, then the sides
For better stability, place your hand or finger on a stable surface. Then always apply the nail polish in three steps: first a stroke in the middle and then on both sides. This way you avoid painting the skin on the side of the nail.
Use brushes correctly
After the second coat, press the brush on the tip of the nails. This will seal them and help prevent them from breaking easily. Hold the brush vertically and then run it along the top edge to color that too with a thin, even coat of nail polish.
Apply a top coat
After the second layer of varnish has dried, you should apply a top coat that fixes the rest and theAdds shine to colors. Finally, hold your fingers under a hairdryer blowing warm air for about 2 minutes to evaporate the solvents and then under cold air for about 3 minutes to set the nail polish.
