4. Color Application Mastery
Advertisement
Getting perfect color application calls both technique and patience.Start with thin, even coats; let each layer dry totally before adding the next.Holding the brush at a 45-degree angle, make three strokes one on each side and one down the middle.To present a neat, businesslike appearance, leave a tiny space between the polish and your cuticle.Two coats are usually plenty for darker hues or highly pigmented polishes; lighter tones may call for three coats for complete opacity.Work in a well-lit area to guarantee even coverage; look for any pooling or streaking that requires correction.Should you make a mistake, gently wipe the edges with a little brush dipped in acetone.Recall that thin layers dry quickly and are less prone than thick ones to bubble or smear.
