Maybe you don’t even think about this is a question. Applying polish looks like an easy job that everyone can do, but it isn’t that easy. Do you know how does the nail salon normally do? Do you know how to do it by yourself that will give your nails a shinny and glossy look. If you want to make a difference, there are some tips you may need to know.

Tip 1: Base coat and Top coat

The base coat and the top coat are both colorless polish. The base coat is applied to the natural nail before the application of colored polish. It contains more resin than colored polish to maintain a tacky surface so the colored polish will adhere better. The top coat is applied over colored polish to prevent chipping and add a shine to the finished nail.

Tip 2: the step of applying polish

Forget what you do before, please remember that polish is applied in four or five coats. The first, the base coat, is followed by two coats of color not only once. This is important and makes the nail more brightly. Finally, one or two applications of top coat. Here is another tip that applying the colored polish on the free edge once before you apply it on the surface because the free edge is easy to get damage.
