Applying nail polish
is also an art. Do not skip this guide on how to apply nail polish. It is
possible to get beautiful hands and nails in just few minutes.
Regular nail care and an occasional manicure are the best ways to get beautiful nails. Neat, clean and well
manicured nails add charm to your personality. Here is your own guide to get beautiful and attractive nails.
Remove the old nail
polish
You will need some
cotton balls and a nail polish remover (acetone) to get rid of the old nail
polish. Take some nail polish remover on the cotton ball and press it on the
nail for a few seconds. Wipe out the old nail polish with the same cotton.
Make sure that you have removed the entire nail polish residue properly. Do
not use nail polish remover too often, as it can harm your nails and cuticles.

Remove cuticles
Nail cuticles keep bacteria away from entering into the body. Proper care
of nail cuticles boost the growth of nails. Invest in a cuticle remover and
cuticle stick also known as orange stick. Push your cuticles behind with the
cuticle stick after softening them with the help of the cuticle remover. Be
careful while using the cuticle remover, avoid applying force.
Shape your nails
Make use of the emery
board to give a nice shape to your nails. Maintain one direction and file
nails from corners to the center. Sharp-corner square nail shape is now in.
Long and oval shape nails look stunning but you need to be
extra careful with them. If you really want to save efforts and time to
manicure then rounded and short shape nails are for you. Just a few minutes
of filing and you will get the desired shape.
Clean your hands
Soak your hands into
warm soapy water to get your hands free of dusts, old nail varnish remains,
dead skin and oil. A few drops of lemon juice into warm water would be the
substitute to deep cleanse
your hands. Dry your hands with
towel. Now you are almost ready to get your nails painted.

Apply base coat
You are on your way to
get glamorous nails. Varnish you fingernails or toenails with nail gloss. Nail Gloss keeps your nails
sparkling and moisturized.
Apply nail paint
Now it is time to
decorate your nails with color or texture of your choice. Combining two shades
of colors can give wonderful effects. Multicolor shades can also be used to
beautify your nails. Start applying strokes of the nail polish from the base
and work upwards.
To prevent nail enamel
from getting damaged make sure that you wipe out excessive nail polish from
the tips of the nails. Let the first coat of nail polish dry before applying
the second coat. Application of two coats of nail paint gives the smooth
texture and makes it appear even. Let the enamel dry completely. You can use
a blow dryer to dry the nail polish completely and save time.

Apply top coat
Top coat is also
called as sealer as it seals the nail paint. Top coat prevents nail paint
from chipping or cracking. Any transparent nail polish can be used to give
the top coat. Top coat will help your nail polish last longer.
Moisturize your hands
Apply a good quality
hand moisturizer to your hands, cuticles and skin around nails to protect them. Hand moisturizer is the essential thing to carry in your handbag, so your hands will
never go dry.
