Steps:
Ever wonder how you can achieve nails that look like you just left the nail shop? Read more below. 1. Shape Up
Shaping your nails and clipping them gives them a uniform look which makes them more appealing. 2. Base Coat A base coat will not only provide a nice, smooth surface for your nail polish to lay on, but it will also help to prevent your natural nails from being stained by dark nail polish colors (e.g. black, dark blue). And no, you DO NOT have to buy any fancy base coat either! You CAN use regular clear nail polish. The key is to make sure that you place a nice, even layer of base coat on your nails. 3. Always 2 Coats Always use a minimum of 2 coats of your nail polish of choice!! This will prevent your mani/pedi from looking transparent and poorly done. It is always better to do 2 thin coats of nail polish rather than 1 thick coat of nail polish. (Trust me, I've learned this way too many times). Taking the time out to do 2 coats of polish will be well worth the extra time that you spent! 4. Top Coat Though many people skip the base coat, top coats are ALWAYS important. They not only leave your mani with a shiny finish (making them more noticeable and more professional looking) but the help prevent your nails from chipping! And yes, any ordinary clear nail polish will do the trick. Just make sure that you coat your nails with an even layer. **Adding a top coat can also help revive any nails that may have gotten slight fingerprint marks on them while you were sleeping! This fresh green and white manicure is another manicure that's great for those sunny summer days! This look is featuring:
