How to paint your nails evenly!

Okay, so I know it's been ages since I last updated but I've had a lot of exams going on recently, sorry! I will try to keep up with this in future!


I am going to be showing you how to simply paint your nails, evenly. Let's go!

Step 1: Cut, clean and shape nails. There is nothing better than having clean, cut and evenly shaped nails as this will help you apply the nail polish more easily and you will be in the right mindset.

Step 2: Base coat. Apply a base-coat as this will ensure that the colours don't leak onto your nail and stain it!

Step 3: The colour. Make sure you use a good quality brand e.g rimmel, no7 etc.

Step 4: Three strokes. Use my three stroke rule, middle, right, left. You also need to make sure that you leave a gap between the nail and cuticle as it will give a more polished look.

Step 5: 2nd, 3rd coat. Depending on how good quality the polish is you may way to add more layers of the nail polish to ensure you get a strong, rich colour.

Step 6: Topcoat. Apply a topcoat to keep the colour locked in and to create an extra cover so the nail doesn't chip.

Step 7: Wait! However big your urge is to start doing something while your nails are drying, try to wait! Make sure you eave up to at least half an hour as this will ensure the nails are fully dry. A way to check if your nails are dry is by putting them face to face together. If they stick a bit, then they are still wet but if they dont then they a fully dry!

I hope this gave you a rough, basic idea on how to paint your nails, thanks for reading! Annia-x-
