How can I get better at doing my nails?
I love doing my nails, but I don't do them often because they always turn out bad. I used to do them all of the time last Summer, and was getting better at it, but then I stopped when school started back up. I know that practicing at it a lot helps you and you'll eventually get better, but I've been doing them alot lately, and I don't know if I have bad quality nail polish, but it gets all goopy and I know I paint it on right, but when it dries it's all bumpy. I also was wondering what the best kind of nail polish is, and where you can get good nail art pens. And is it true that if you put your nails in cold water after you paint them they dry faster? And my friend always puts newspaper words on her nails and she says you put alcohol on a piece of newspaper, then hold it on your nails for about 40 seconds, but I don't think that would work. Does anyone else do that?
A good trick I learned was to add a drop of nail polish remover to your nail polish if you find it is getting too clumpy (as it thins it out).
I tried a lot of different nail polishes and most are good enough for me. Most nail salons use OPI and China Glaze as the nail polish of choice (of course it is all up to you).
I tried the nail polish in cold water to dry my nails when I was younger, and it didn't work at all. While they did appear to be "dry", they ended up with finger print marks, and smudges minutes later.
I haven't personally tried to put pieces of newspaper on my nails, it seems like the alcohol would make the newspaper a bit watery. The best thing would be to coat your nails with a clear coat first, then apply the newspaper, followed by another clear coat or two to seal it.
Most ladies who do nails tutorials on youtube get their nail art pens and supplies online (I don't remember the stores that they listed), but a quick browse on youtube or a google search could help you.
Keep practicing and check out youtube tutorials on how to do nail art.
Good luck!!!
P.S
Here's a cool youtube link I found using Sally Hansen nail polish.
