Nail polish is one of the things we love about beauty — it puts a glimpse of sunshine to our otherwise boring, bare nails and can be changed up at a moment’s
notice depending on how we feel or what we’re wearing. And when it comes
to painting our nails, we may have the prepping part down but sometimes dealing with little things, like polish on your cuticles
or making that neon shade of chartreuse pop, makes the difference
between an irritating painting experience and a great one. Here, we’re
sharing some pretty genius nail polish tricks so you can step
up your game and make the process a little bit more seamless.
1. Use an old eyeliner or eyebrow makeup brush that is slanted to dip
into nail polish remover and clean up any mistakes around the edges of
painted nails. The stiff angled point makes it sturdy so that cleaning
up any errors is easy and precise.
2. Use a rubberized base coat to help polish last longer. The rubber
texture helps polish adhere to it even more for long-term staying power.
3. Use tape to create stripes and patterns for an easy nail art design.
4. When it comes to drying time, skip the fan. It may be faster than
sitting around, but it will result in those little bubbles that ruin a
good-looking manicure. Instead, apply a few quick-dry drops, which act
as a barrier to protect your nail from smudging and also help polish dry
faster.
5. Use white polish to create an ombre manicure — simply up the white
ratio to go lighter or less for a darker version of the shade.
6. Use paper hole reinforcers to help create a half-moon manicure, a French manicure or a nail art design with minimal effort.
