Nail Polish Tricks

• 1. Before you paint your nails is use nail polish remover, even if you don't have any nail polish on. Nail polish remover not only removes nail polish, but it helps with removing any debris on the surface of the nail that we may not see.
• 2. Put a base coat on!  The base coat makes your polish easier to remove and makes it so that the colored lacquer doesn't stain the nail. 
• 3. Apply a Top Coat, not extremely important, but I like to do this because it gives the nail polish a glossy look and also seals it, which keeps it from chipping.
• 4. When shopping for base and top coats, don't buy ones that are a base and top coat all in one bottle. The base coat and the top coat are designed to do very different things, the shiny look from the top coat makes the nail slippery, if you're putting that on first, then it makes applying nail polish hard, because it doesn't adhere as well.
