-
Cleaning:
Start with the acetone and cotton balls. Dip the cotton ball into the acetone and clean your nails. We should clean our nails before.
Clean your nails even if there is no previously applied paint on your nails. The main reason is there are natural oils or body lotions on our nails. It will make the polish chip more easily if we don’t remove them beforehand.
-
File:
It is best to file your nails before applying polish on them. Take 180 no. filler or any you usually work with and file your nails. Give them a particular shape you want or simply smooth out the edges.
-
Painting:
Always start with applying a base coat on your nails. Basecoat is a transparent polish that helps your nails from damaging and harmful chemicals. And always end with applying topcoat on your colored nail polish. Topcoat helps with your nail polish to stay for a longer period and gives you a finished look.
How do you properly paint your nails?
You can properly paint your nails by using some easy techniques.
As you take the brush out from the nail polish, wipe one side of the brush clean. Use the slightest bit of strength for wiping. In one smooth and continuous motion.
Move your brush across the center of the nail, from cuticle to the tip. Then, swipe it along the left and then right in one stroke.
To avoid getting the brush strokes on your nails, this way proves to be the most convenient. The fewer brush strokes you apply polish with, the fewer strokes it will look.
It will not look messy and will give your perfect nails like a professional. While applying polish take your time and apply the polish in continuous motion.
- 1st – Clean your nails with acetone or nail polish remover, to remove any excess oil.
- 2nd – Apply base polish, to protect your natural nails from further damaging.
- 3rd – Apply nail polish of your choice.
- 4th – After your colored polish is dried, apply a top coat to seal the polish underneath.
How do you do nails for a beginner?
If it’s your first time doing nails or you just started doing nails! Then you probably get the polish on your cuticles or your nails have brush strokes or you can’t achieve the finished look on your nails.
To have the even look and getting the polish less around your cuticles there are few tips and tricks you have to keep in mind:
1st– Before applying nail polish on your nails, make sure you have a very little or sufficient amount of polish on your brush.
2nd– Put both your hands on the table or any flat surface. This will give your hand the support while applying nail polish.
3rd– If you’re having trouble cleaning your nail polish from your skin, you can use liquid latex rather than acetone. Nail remover can’t clean too near your nails or you ruin your nails while cleaning. Liquid latex will form a layer around your nails and after painting your nails you can simply peel off the latex.
With liquid latex, you won’t ruin your nail polish. And don’t have to spend a time in cleaning the excess polish off of your nails.
What nail color looks best on short nails?
You should go with your favorite shades like blue, green or even red.
Firstly, I want to say there isn’t any shade that will look bad particularly on short nails. Every color is beautiful in own way. There are types of polishes that might look bad or good on short nails.
If you’re looking for shades then there are pastels shade that look amazing and matches with mostly every outfit. There are few shades that match with mostly everything and look amazing on short nails too like:
Pastels, Shades of Reds, White and black, Shades of Pinks Or any shades that you particularly like.
Just like I said earlier, every color looks beautiful so don’t get nervous and flex the shades.
Do short nails look good painted?
Yes, I think they look super cute.
For nails to look beautiful they don’t have to be very long! They have to be painted properly.
If you painted your nails with perfection, they will look good no matter if they are short or long. Even I think short painted nails look more cute and lovely than compared with long nails.
There are nail designs which are specially made for short nails and they look super lovely on nails too. If you made the same design on long nails they won’t look as lovely as they look with short nails. Short nails are more flexible and easier to work with.
With short nails, you don’t have to worry about them to break or getting the polish chipped.
From doing ombre to making flowers, they look super cute on short nails. If you simply paint them with a glitter polish than they look classy that caught everyone’s eyes.
The square shape looks the best on short nails and outshines other shapes.
