How do i apply nail polish so that it comes out all smooth, nice and even?

do i remove excess polish on the brush first?





also, how do you get the let and right edges of your nails (the part that almost borders your skin? cuticle?) painted? do you tilt your hand first to the left when you are painting the left part of each nail and then to the right when you are painting the right part of each nail or something?How do i apply nail polish so that it comes out all smooth, nice and even?
-if you want to remove the excess you take if and slide it against the top.


-always do it at a angle wehn you paint the sides


-dont use old nail polish b/c it can be cakey and dry. i love opi (:


oh %26amp; i always roll the bottle instead of shaking it so it would go on smoother %26amp; there wouldn't be any bubbles.


-ALWAYS use 2 coats of nail polish then use a top coat to make it last longer. plus it makes your nails look nice %26amp; shiny :DHow do i apply nail polish so that it comes out all smooth, nice and even?
When doing your nails, before you even apply color, you should trim, shape, smooth your nail, and push back your cuticles. Pushing back your cuticles can be done easiest if you soak your hands in warm water first.





After you have done this, apply 1 coat of base/primer. This is important to help your color last.





Then its time to do your color. Do two THIN coats of color on your nails. The thicker you put it on, the easier it will peel. Doing two thin nails allows you to not get that transparent-streaky look one thing coat provides. Make sure that your nails are DRY before applying the second coat.





If you get some paint on your cuticle, When its dry, dip a cue tip in nailpolish remover and carefully remove whats on the edges of your skin.





When you are done, follow up with a top coat to seal in the color. You will have a perfect manicure!
You should always start out buffing your nails.That way your nail can be smooth and that way your nail polish can come out smooth. I would start out by applying one coat first letting that dry and then applying a second coat. And don't forget to make your nail polish look shiny and last longer apply a coat of the clear nail polish. About applying polish to the sides of your nail your pretty much already have it down. I mean really there is no other way to do it.
- shake the nail polish bottle before opening it,


- open the bottle and pull the brush out


- wipe any excess polish onto the edge of the nailpolish bottle


- i'm right handed and i find it easier to use my left hand to paint my right ha nd first, but do what you find easiest. it took me a lot of practice to get used to using my left hand.


- i start by doing one streak down the middle of my nail, then another on each side of the first streak. usually that covers the whole nail, but on thumbs you may need more.


- let the first coat dry THROUGHLY. if you dont let it dry completely and you put a second coat on, you will trap air bubbles and the polish will turn out all bubbly.


- do a second coat and cover with a clear coat (if you want)
Well put a coat of clear on all your nails. then you can get one of those small paint brushes and do it that way. its way better than using the one nail polish comes with because the bristles are kept in the nail polish and when using the paintbrush.. you can wash it off and keep it out. comes out smooth everytime. also put another clear coat on when they dry, keeps your nails smoother longer! hope this helps!
yeah, wipe of excess, put as little on as possible. I love 60 second rimmel, because the colors are bright enough for 1 layer and it goes on mega smooth and dries quick.





I usually am not too worried about messing up with nailpolish when painting the edges - it comes off in the shower off of my skin.
First, buff your nail beds. Second, apply a base coat. Third, apply two coats of polish, letting the first coat dry a minute or two before the next (and ya, you should lightly remove excess polish from the brush first by swiping against the inside of the bottle neck. Last, apply a top coat.
try and keep it to thre strokes. because just like a dry erase marker, ir you go over it to many times it will start to remove color. always do two coats because it will erase the stroke lines of the first coat. get as close to the cuticle as possible but dont touch it
On top of what everyone else said (apply light coats, use 3 strokes per nail, buff nails before hand..etc...) I have also found that it helps to keep your nail polish in the fridge for a few hours (or just all the time) before using. Especially in the summer when it is super hot out.





Good luck, hope that helps :)
Don't shake the bottle, roll it between your palms, shaking causes bubbles. Also if the polish is old %26amp; thick it won't apply well. Make sure


your nails are clean with no lotion, etc. on them. You could tilt your hand


to apply.
make sure you buff your nails and smooth them out if you want a really smooth look. apply in thin coats, let each coat dry them reapply.





they have base coats that fill in the lines in your nails also, and top coats to smooth out the polish.
Do like three thin coats, and use that clear glazed stuff to do the last coat over it, it makes it shiny and really smooth.
