Methods of applying varnish
There are several ways to paint your nails, and each of them gives the nail a certain look. Aesthetically, any of the currently known manicure options looks advantageous. Which one suits you, you will understand after experimenting.
1 way: the varnish is applied so that the edges of the nail remain unpainted on the sides. This visually lengthens the nails.
2 way: on the sides of the nails are stained, but the lower part is left untouched. This application is suitable in the case of bright colorful varnishes and in order not to harm the cuticle.
Paint your nails evenly! Varnish, especially saturated color, can lie on the nail heterogeneous. How to avoid this? Before staining the nail, make sure that there is enough varnish on the brush (a small droplet on one side of the brush is enough to paint over the widest nail - on the thumb). Apply a layer with a brush to the center, in the direction from the cuticle to the outer end of the nail. Do not press on the brush to be able to capture the whole nail. It is better to apply two more strips on the sides (but not dipping the brush into the bottle).
