How to Apply Nail Polish Perfectly – Easier Than Ever with ARTDECO
How Do You Apply Nail Polish Correctly?
For an even finish and longer-lasting wear, there are a few important steps to follow when applying nail polish.
Base Coat: Start with a base coat, which can help smooth ridges, even out discoloration, provide care, and protect the natural nail, depending on its formula.
2 Coats of Color: Apply the colored nail polish in thin layers so it can dry evenly. Depending on the pigmentation, one or two coats may be sufficient. Be careful not to paint over the cuticles to achieve a clean, professional-looking result.
Top Coat: Finish with a top coat to add shine and extend the wear of your manicure. Patience, a little practice, and a steady hand are key to achieving beautiful results.
How Do You Paint Nails Neatly Without Smudging?
For a flawless application, place the applicator slightly away from the cuticle, then gently push the polish toward it, stopping about one millimeter before the cuticle, before spreading the remaining polish across the nail. Leave a small margin along the sides of the nail as well.
If any polish gets onto the cuticle, small mistakes can easily be corrected with a corrector pen or a brush dipped in nail polish remover.
How Many Coats of Nail Polish Are Ideal?
In most cases, two coats of nail polish provide even coverage and a beautiful finish. Depending on the shade and pigmentation, one coat may already be enough.
Many shades of Art Couture Nail Lacquer are highly pigmented and deliver smooth, opaque coverage from the very first coat.
Should you use a base coat and top coat?
To get the most out of your manicure, using a Base Coat and Top Coat is highly recommended. They can extend the wear time of your nail polish by several days.
The Base Coat prepares the nail, protects it from discoloration, and smooths the surface. This improves the adhesion of colored polish and helps reduce chipping.
The Top Coat seals the color layers, protects against scratches, and extends wear time.
How can you prevent streaks when applying nail polish?
Streaks often occur when too much pressure is applied with the applicator. Instead, let the brush glide gently over the nail so the polish is distributed evenly without dragging against the nail surface.
Low opacity can also cause streaking. In that case, apply at least two thin coats for a smooth, streak-free finish.
If your nails naturally have ridges, start with a ridge-filling base coat to smooth out unevenness.
