Applying nail polish at home can be a fun and relaxing activity. Here are some steps and tips to help you achieve a salon-worthy manicure at home:

Prepare Your Nails

Use a non-acetone remover to clear any previous polish. Shape your nails using a nail clipper and a file. File in one direction to avoid splitting. Soak your hands in warm, soapy water for a few minutes to soften your cuticles. Gently push them back with a cuticle stick or a soft towel.Use a nail buffer to smooth out the surface of your nails, which helps the polish adhere better.

Apply a Base Coat

Apply a thin layer of a clear base coat to protect your nails and prevent staining. The base coat also helps the polish last longer.

Apply Nail Polish

Apply your nail polish in thin coats. This helps prevent smudging and ensures even coverage. Use the “Three Stroke” Method where you dip the brush in the bottle and wipe off any excess. Start with a stroke down the middle of the nail, then one on each side. Allow each coat to dry for a few minutes before applying the next one. Two coats are generally enough for even coverage, but you can apply a third if needed.
