Five Steps to Fab Nails
1. Prep your canvas. Make sure your nails are clean and shapely, this includes pushing back your cuticles.
2. Apply a clear base coat.
3. Pick your color(s). It’s always good to be mindful of what colors do to shapes. Dark colors like black will make your nails appear shorter and smaller. Current campus fads include using a highlight nail – this means picking one nail and making it a different color from the rest.
4- Apply a quick dry top coat.
