How do you paint your nails neatly?

Hi, my nails are quite short and I try to apply nails polish to stop me biting them and they look pretty, but the only problem is that I cant paint them neatly, do you have any tips or have any videos you can show me, also I'm doing them or myself thanks bye xxHow do you paint your nails neatly?
Paint your ';good hand'; first- so if you're right handed, start with painting your right hand. Always start at the pinkie and work toward the thumb- do this to prevent accidentally smudging the nail polish or bumping wet nails. Keep a nail file with a pointy end close by. If you accidentally get polish on your cuticles, this is a pretty handy tool to use to carefully scrape it off before it dries. If you get a lot of polish on your cuticles or fingers, wait until the polish is dry, then go back and touch them up with a Q-tip dipped in polish remover. Hope that helps a bit!How do you paint your nails neatly?
First put on a base coat. Clear nail polish will work (how to paint is explained in a minute)


Give the bottle of polish a good shake (while it's closed of course!)


Take the brush out and tap it lightly against the inside rim of the bottle. You want polish on the brush, but you shouldn't have it forming drips when you hold the brush upright.


SLOWLY paint one stripe down the center of your nail, then one to the left and one to the right.


When your nails are completely dry (about 15 min) apply a top coat to help the colour last longer.





The thing is to paint really slowly and carefully. And, like with everything, practice makes perfect!
try to leave a tiny gap (like a little road) at the base of the nail


dry the nail plate completely before applying base coat - 2 coats of polish and a top coat. Practice make perfect :) It's the only way.

I find that placing the hand that I'm painting on a flat surface to keep my hand steady. As I'm right handed, it's always easier for me to paint my left hand. Also, start in the middle of the nail with the first stroke.
It just takes lots of practise, keep going at it. Or get someone else to paint them for you! xx
