  • I’ll give some tips.

    Glass nail files can help keep the nails from splitting at the tips.

    moisturizing the nails seems to make them a little more durable too. They make special stuff for this, but I just use regular moisturizer.

    some polishes need more than one (or even two!) coats.

    certain colors seem to behave differently than other colors ie: yellow polishes are much harder to work with than red.

    don’t get as worried about the finish until you put the top coat on. The top coat hides a lot of irregularities.

    experiment with different base coats and top coats. They can produce wildly different effects. some base coats are simple and durable, while others can have ridge filling properties, and others still can be peelable. Top coats also vary in quality and effect like having matte finishes or extra sparkles.

    If you ever struggle to open a bottle, run it under hot water for a while and try again.
