Not everyone is born with the talent for
painting nails perfectly. When I first started painting my nails I
absolutely HATED it because I was so rubbish at it. I would get nail
polish all over my fingers, outside of my nails and cleaning it up would
take even longer than painting my nails.
So here’s a cheat sheet I found that explains exactly how to paint nails perfectly and professionally:
My tips for on how to paint nails perfectly:
- The trick is to get just the right amount of nail polish on the brush. What I do is brush the nail polish brush on the side of the bottle neck a few times to get excess nail polish off. The amount of nail polish in your brush should be just enough for you to paint one or two straight drags on your nail.
- Don’t start from the cuticle base but just a little above it (like in the diagram), so that the nail polish doesn’t pool at the base but is evenly spread out.
- Use even less nail polish when you’re painting the curves of your nail (step 6). That’s where it’s harder to control your strokes and this means polish pools and smudges more easily.
These are some ideas
