I often get asked where I got my nails done. And answering “I do them” is still fun to say. When asked how I get my nails to look so nice, I normally sum it up quickly, “I buy pricey nail polish and always use a top coat.” There are a few more steps to it, so I’ll break it down for you here so you can head into the warmer months with people asking where you get your nails done.
I really do buy more expensive nail polish.
Give each coat time to set.
ALWAYS use a glossy top coat.
Use a clean-up brush.
I’m not the most accurate when I paint my nails. I get it on my skin basically every time. Buy a clean-up brush – either in a nail art pack or an individual brush (or use a paintbrush). You’ll then need to dip it in some acetone (my favorite nail polish remover) and carefully remove the excess paint.
I do not enjoy getting my nails painted professionally. The times I’ve gone with friends have always been disappointing because I know I could do a better job at home! It’s not relaxing. What is more relaxing is painting my nails, slapping a glitter coat on top and then a glossy top coat, and staring at them once they’re done.
Whether you’re a glitter girl or just looking for a clean polish job at home, these tips will get you started.
