How To Avoid Nail Polish Fiascoes?
4. Give a first and second shot
Once the base coat is applied, apply a first coat. Paint one stripe of color in the middle of your nail from the cuticle to the tip. Then paint on the left. Once you are done with this, do the same on the right. This way the middle of your nail will shine more than the ends, giving your nails a glamorous look. Secondly, when you apply more polish in the middle and less on the sides, there are less chances of the polish rolling off your nails. Repeat the procedure after 3-4 minutes, only when the first coat is dry. A second coat will also help you spread the nail polish more evenly, so that no area of the nail is left unattended.
5. Top it with the last coat
Allow the second coat to dry for at least 20 minutes before you apply the final coat. Do not forget, the top coat is the one which people will notice. Hence, be very careful when applying the last coat. Follow step 4 again; but this time, with more care. This is because the top coat helps the polish to settle evenly and smoothly across the nails as well as helps the nail polish to last longer.
Tips:
- When you begin applying the nail polish, make sure you start with the little finger and move towards the thumb. This reduces the chances of you accidentally messing up with a wet nail.
- After the top coat has dried completely, dip a tip of cotton in the nail polish remover and erase any spots of nail polish that may have spilled over the skin.
Follow these tips to make your nail polishing experience an enjoyable one, unlike the fiascoes that may have happened in the past. Enjoy your time pampering yourself!
